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

Re: Display Message box language

Hi Michael,

The "Display message box" and "Display error message" custom actions are implemented using system message boxes, so the buttons are localized by the OS using the user's display language.

Let us know if you have other questions.

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:

Re: Display Message box language

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your contribution to Advanced Installer forums. Also, thank you for your suggestion. I have added this improvement on our TODO list and it will be available in a future version of Advanced Installer, but for the moment there are not immediate plans.

Best regards,
Dan
