I made a project (basic msi - installshield dev 8)
with two UI languages and the option "Language dialog":
this setup is an "Install From the web - setup.exe, MSI package, and Cab files"
so the setup.exe when launched download the required cab files ...

The problem is that when I use more than one UI langue setup.exe require mst fil for each language and these mst files MUST be at the same place as setup.exe. They can't be on the http server with msi and cabs.

Is there a way to put also the mst files on a server?

I don't know. But I guess I would use a different approach: I would also localize the web pages, and therefore create separate setup packages for each language.

Yes but there is too many versions (products) and they are each localized in ten languages interface....

for security reason the setup should be in another place than the cabs, msi, ... files.
So, we made a web page with right click (save as) disabled. this web page links to the setup.exe which is located on a server in the same floder as mst files.

it works fine.


Thank you
