Missing product name in file association dialog with german text

Tue Jul 25, 2017 9:42 am

Hello,

I noticed that with german language the product name is missing in the Select File associations dialog.

Is there a workaround available?

Kind regards

Hello,

Yes, I can reproduce and confirm this issue. This problem is triggered by the fact that in the German translation's default string the "[ProductName]" property is misspelled "[Productname]". As Windows Installer properties names are case sensitive, at install time the content of "Productname" property (which is empty) will be inserted in the string instead of the actual product name.

A fix will be available in a future version of Advanced Installer, thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Until then, as a workaround, you could edit the German string by going to "Translations" page, "Default Strings" tab. Select the default string: "Bitte wählen Sie die Dateitypen, die Sie automatisch mit [Productname] öffnen wollen:" and replace [Productname] with [ProductName]. Then click "Save changes in a dictionary from repository" and build the project again.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best regards,
Sorin
