How to set the culture of the installed program based on the language selection of the installer

[jminsa]

Hello,

I have a config file which has a CultureInfo parameter which sets the culture of the program. For example "en-US" for american english or "es-ES" for spanish.

I have tried setting this value based on the language selection the user does on the installer. I have seen that the language changes the property AI_BOOTSTRAPPERLANG. I would need to react to the change on this property to set the value of a custom property I have created called APP_CULTURE with the corresponding value, for example:
1033 -> en-US
1034 -> es-ES

I have tried to set the value of my property in the language page as follows but it is not working:

Could you help me to set the value of my property based on the value of the AI_BOOTSTRAPPERLANG property?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

In order to achieve what you want, you can proceed as it follows:

- Go to "Dialogs" page, select "WelcomeDlg" and click on the "Next" button.

- Now under "Published Events" tab, press the "New..." button to create an event as it follows:

Code: Select all

Set installer property
Property: APP_CULTURE
Argument: en_US
Condition: ProductLanguage = 1033

Repeat the above steps for the other languages. The [APP_CULTURE] property should correctly be defined now.

Hope this helps.

All the best,
Catalin

Thanks,

I was able to go back to this today, in my project i don't seem to find a WelcomeDlg other than the pre-requisites one.
Anyway, I did what you said on the Next button of the language page and it worked.

best regards
