Re: Multi-Language with Language specific graphics
My suggestion:
Use the indirect feature to use a property as image path and set this property depending on language conditions.

Re: Repair doesn't work
Some further questions:
1. Why is the MSI in the extract location not deleted after installation. It is still in C:\Windows\Installers available.
2. Why is it not possible to have a Single exe setup with resources inside and include cab file in msi database?

Re: Display Message box language
Hi Dan,
Yes they are system boxes, but it reduces the user experience when languages are mixed.
As a feature request it would be possible to modify button language for you like demonstrated here:

Kind regards,
Michael

Display Message box language
Hi
I'm using a custom action "Display Message Box" for an English installer.
If the message box is shown, the buttons are in the OS language, not in the installer language.
This looks a bit strange.
Kind regards,
Michael

Calling custom action from Powershell
Hi
Is there any buildin function like AI_SetMsiProperty to call a custom action inside a powershell script?
Useful for UpdateMsiEditControls custom action.
Kind regards,
Michael

Re: Service account variables
Hi Daniel,
I also tried this but I can't configure a service entry as a single component to modify install conditions.
Do I have to create dummy registry entries for this?
Kind regards,
Michael

Re: Determining component state on repair
Hi Dan,
this looks like I need a lot of custom action code. So there is nothing built in in advanced installer?
Performing AppSearch for the files seems to be much easier for me than writing such a custom action.
Kind regards,
Michael

Hi I want to display an extra dialog in the repair step if components are missing that need user input for text replace. Using ?componentname < 3 as condition doesn't work. When does the installer analyze which components are missing? Do I have to create a file search for each component I want to ch...

Renaming components should check references
Hi
I just realized that renaming components will not update it's references in conditions. This should be improved!
Kind regards,
