  • Installer - New Generic or Specialized Installer Project
  • Java - New Java Installer Project
  • Updates - New Patch or Updates Configuration Project
  • Add-Ins -New Office, Visual Studio Add-in or Visual Studio Extension.

Use wizard to create the project

Enable this option if you want to create the project using a wizard. More information about wizards and a list of them can be found in our Wizards page.

NoteNot all project templates support disabling this option.

Language

Here you can select the language in which the project will be created. Additional build languages can be specified later in the Languages tab, on the Translation page. By default the drop-down list contains only the languages for which translation dictionaries are registered in Advanced Installer. Additional dictionaries can also be added from the this page.

To select a language which doesn't have a translation dictionary, use the “More...” option from the drop-down list to bring up the Select Language Dialog.
