There are around 25 languages need to be supported by the product. Installer for the product is MSI project . As if now, we are just supporting English language.


I have following problems during Globalization:

1. There should be one <lang-id>.lng file installed on system after installation. Which .lng is picked up depends on which language user selects during installation.
How to do that.

2. There is a common file name for different languages and are located in .....\A\<lang>\a.chm, according to language selected by user , corresponding a.chm should be installed on system


How to achieve that. I am using Microsoft Installshield 10 to build.


Thanks in advance.

In both cases you can conditionalize the components on the ProductLanguage property which will match the language the user selected in the language selection dialog (if you are localizing your setup in all those languages).

Will u please elaborate this with example.

What I understood:

make component for each language, and keep the language specific files in that component like .lng and .chm files and then put some condition like ProductLanguage=";1033 ", ProductLanguage=";1053 "...Now at run time during installation only one component with the matching lang id will be installed.

Let me know If I undersood correct.
