Summary
This article will discuss how to set up a Basic MSI project to allow Installshield to localize the installation automatically.Synopsis
When an installation contains multiple languages by default Installshield will present a Language Selection Dialog:
It is possible however to have Installshield automatically choose the best language to display at runtime without user input.
Discussion
By selecting to turn off the Language Selection Dialog, Installshield will automatically select the best language to select when the installation is run.
The Language Selection Dialog can be turned off here:
Installation Designer > Media > Releases > Select your Release > Build Tab > Languages Dialog = Change to "No"
It is also possible to turn off the Languages Dialog in the release wizard on the "Setup Languages" dialog by unchecking the "Display the setup Languages Dialog" box.
Additional Information
With the Languages Dialog disabled Installshield will automatically attempt to select the correct language to display at runtime depending on a number of factors.
These factors are listed in detail on the following helpnet page:
