Hello,

After using GetSystemInfo (LANGUAGE), I pass svResult to a switch statement as such:

switch (svResult)

case 'English':LaunchAppAndWait( WINDIR^ "Temp\242975USA8.EXE","-s", WAIT );

I keep getting an error C8096 - number too big for character. I cannot find any documentation on this error

I think you made your hard coded path incorrectly.

When you want to separate two directories in a string, I am pretty sure you should use two backslashes in a row.

You have this:
"Temp\242975USA8.EXE"

And I think you should try this:
"Temp\\242975USA8.EXE"

I tell you, the strangest errors are sometimes emitted by InstallShield in such situations.

Yes, BMW is correct.  You must use two backslashes, so that could certainly be the cause for your problem.
