Hi all,
Our product supports installations in 3 different languages, with English as default. Since adding the language packs, and the languages to support, whenever I start the install or uninstall, the language selection dialog appears at the start.
I want to control the display of the language dialog box. Depending on certain conditions, I want to decide whether the language selection dialog should be displayed or not. Is there any way programmatically to do it?

Also, is there any way that I can control the text in the language selection dialog?

thanks,
Vishwa

setup.exe is responsible for that dialog, so it is displayed before your script starts. therefore you cannot programmatically decide whether to display it or not. You can however use a command line parameter to select a language. So what you could do:
- turn off the language selection dialog in InstallShield
- write your own exe (or CD Browser autorun program) that will display a selection dialog or not, with the text you desire
- this exe would then launch InstallShield's setup.exe with the appropriate language command line parameter

In Releases view select your release. In the property grid switch Languages Dialog to No.
