Hide feature depending on selection previous dialog

[Ton_B]

Some features inside my setup are language dependant features.
In one of the first dialogs (prior to the componentstree dialog) the user has to select the language in which the setup will continue.

What I need, is that some features then will be hidden when language #1 is chosen but must be visible when language #2 is chosen.

How can I accomplish this?

You want to use the "Set Component Visibility" command in the MSI script will allow you to hide and show the options, you'll also want to use the "Set Component State" as well, to unselect the ones that are no longer visible.

Ah,

Works perfecly!

I've coded this just before calling the componentstree dialog.
I'm checking if the variable LANG contains -BE (checking for language code nl-BE or fr-BE, thus, checking for Belgium)

Code: Select all

 Deselect Component: ManageMvg
  if Variable LANG Contains -BE
    Show Component: ManageMvg
  else
    Hide Component: ManageMvg
  end
  Display Dialog: componentstree, wait for dialog to return (modal)

Thanx

Dear Ton,

you could also use the IA pre-defined vaiable LANGUAGE.

Set to an empty string in non multi-lingual installs. In multi-lingual installs, holds the active language. Assign a new value to this variable to change the active language from within your setup script in multi-lingual installs.

Hi Francesco,

Well, using the LANGUAGE varaible does not do the trick

Our software need more than just the language, but also needs the culture,
Therefore I've made a custom combobox in where you can choose the language-culture code.

But thank you anyway.
