Language problem

Our installer sets some user permissions on the application folder for the usergroup "Gebruikers" (Dutch). One of our customers is testing the installer and is using an US version of Windows (7). The installer stops at the point of setting the user permissions because the usergroup "Gebruikers" is not found. The language of the OS is different, so the installer exprects "Users" instead of "Gebruikers".

How can we have set the permissons by the installer language-neutral?

Re: Language problem

Hello,

Only "Everyone" and "Administrators" are the same for all languages. You should try to localize "Users".

You can have separate packages or a custom action that determines the localized value for "Users" group. Here is a code sample to get you started.

All the best,
