German text too long for WinXP native Browse Folder dlg

G'day,

I'm using AI 7.7 build 28804

My project is configured to use the Enhanced UI and I added the FolderDlg to the "First Time Install" sequence.

If a user decides to choose a different install path, he/she is presented with the Windows native "Browse Folder" dialog (as specified in the ...

Re: msgbox localization - aicustact.dll uses OS locale

Thanks for the follow-up, Mihai.

I would like to re-emphasize that it really seems as though AI is *already capable* of displaying/creating a message-box whose button-text is localized according to the installer's language. Two examples are:
(1) the "Uninstall Cleanup" msgbox prompt as provided by ...

Re: msgbox localization - aicustact.dll uses OS locale

Thanks for your reply, Mihai.

I am still wondering why the Message Box function in aicustact.dll behaves differently than the equivalent function in ResourceCleaner.dll
Both libraries create a message box, but only one library localizes the message box according to the language of the installer. I ...

Hi Cosmin,

I never heard anything further from you guys on this issue - did you have a chance to investigate it more?

Thanks,

Re: EnhancedUI crashes upgrade if FolderDlg has Volume Cost List

Thanks for confirming, Gabriel.

As a final data-point, I just wanted to mention that all of the machines on which I reproduced this bug are 32-bit. The problem may or may not exist on 64-bit hardware; I do not currently have access to any 64-bit machines to test it.

I'll look for the fix in a ...

Re: EnhancedUI crashes upgrade if FolderDlg has Volume Cost List

Thanks for your reply.

I can reproduce this problem on several different machines, all of which have a single physical drive, no removable media (USB sticks, etc) attached, and no mounted network drives. There is nothing noteworthy about the drive settings, all set to default values.

I can send a ...

Re: empty FilesInUse dlg with Enhanced UI on WinXP

Impressive intuition regarding the version of Windows Installer - it seems that is an important factor.

===== v 3.00.3790.2180 (WinXP Pro w/ sp2, English) =====
This is the WI version against which I reported the original problem (empty listbox when using EnhancedUI).
It would be nice if the ...

Re: how to create localized source path

Thanks for your reply, Gabriel.

The idea of having a build per language is similar to what Cosmin proposed (see above). I didn't like this idea because I already have two builds for just the English version. However, if I can create a source path variable and then set its value to an environment ...

Re: how to create localized property with empty value

Understood.

As a point of reference, a few other users have also asked about creating empty properties:
- "I cannot create an empty property"
- "Creating Empty Properties"
(the actual problem was public -vs- private, but the empty property issue was still raised)

Thanks for your time,
Todd

EnhancedUI crashes upgrade if FolderDlg has Volume Cost List

Ahoy,

I'm using AI 7.7 build 28804

It seems that an upgrade will hang/crash if:
(1) the existing version of the app is running
AND
(2)the upgrade package is using the Enhanced UI and contains a "Volume Cost List" on the FolderDlg

Here are the steps to reproduce the problem:

===== Project ...

Re: how to create localized source path

Thanks for the solution, Cosmin.

I considered that approach, but was hoping to avoid it because the number of builds will significantly increase as I need to support more and more languages. Before I needed to support other languages I already had two builds, so now for each new language I would ...

Re: how to create localized property with empty value

Thanks for the clever solution, Cosmin.

Unfortunately, that approach will set the property to an empty string during the install, not during the build. As I said in my original post, I am using this property to name the bootstrapper EXE, so I need the property value to be resolved (to an empty ...
