Language dependant file install

Post by Guest »

How do you check for a particular installer language and then install different sets of files depending on the result.

Also, it looks like each installer "project" can only have one language. If you want to have multiple language installs, do they need to be saved as separate projects?

Yes, and you can use the same setup script from each different project. You can also define different compiler variables with each project and then test for that variable, installing different files accordingly in your shared setup script.

Thanks for the reply. So if I'm doing English, French and German, the process would look something like:

1. Create a setup project for each language.
2. Point each project to a common script file.
3. Copy the EN dialog files to other locations (one set for FR and one set for DE)
4. Localize the FR and DE dialog files.
5. Localize other strings and resources.
6. Edit the common script for language dependant actions.

Since the dialog files are separate, I presume that any changes made to the EN set will need to be manually reproduced in the other sets?

Once again, thanks for your help.
