Description

Included Release Languages

The functionality for this box varies, depending on which project type you are using:

•

In a Basic MSI or InstallScript MSI project, this setting lets you specify which user interface languages you want to include in a release.

Note that if a language is not selected in the Setup Languages setting in the General Information view of the project, it is not listed as one of the available languages in this box.

•

In an InstallScript or InstallScript Object project, use this setting if you want to include certain components and exclude others based on the language that is selected for each component. This setting also lets you specify which user interface languages you want to include in a release. If the language specified for a component does not match one of the languages that is selected in this box, InstallShield does not include the component in the release. In addition, if a UI language that is included in the project does not match one of the languages that is selected in this box, InstallShield does not include the UI strings in the release.

By default, releases are language independent; that is, none of the project’s components or UI strings are excluded from the release.

Note that if a language is not selected in the General Information view of a project, it is not listed as one of the available languages in this box.

Make Default

To override the release’s default project language that is configured in the General Information view or the String Editor view, select the appropriate default user interface language for your installation, and then click this button.

For more information, see Setting the Default Project Language.

Display the Setup Languages Dialog

If you want your installation to display the Choose Setup Languages dialog when it is run with a full user interface, select this check box.

Tip • A Setup.exe setup launcher is required if you want the language selection dialog to be displayed. To learn more, see Creating a Setup Launcher.

Project • In Basic MSI and InstallScript MSI projects, the Setup Languages panel affects only the user interface elements that you include in your project. To include components based on the language of the application data, see the Release Filtering panel.

For information on adding a language to a project, see Selecting the Installation Languages.
