Globalization Tutorial
InstallShield 2020
The Globalization tutorial introduces you to the tools and options that InstallShield provides for creating a global installation package. A global installation is one that has the potential to run in many different languages. Depending on how you choose to build your installation, you can either include all the languages in one package and let the end user select the language, or you can build individual installation packages for each language that you target. This tutorial walks you through the process of creating an all-encompassing installation.
Edition:The Premier edition of InstallShield must be installed on your development system in order to successfully complete this tutorial.
If you have not already done so, you may want to run through the Basic MSI tutorial to familiarize yourself with how to create an installation package. When finished with the Basic MSI Tutorial, you will have a Basic MSI installation project that is ideal for adding additional languages. The complete project file for the Basic MSI tutorial was installed with this product in one of the Samples subfolders within the InstallShield Program Files folder. The default location is:
C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2020\Samples\WindowsInstaller\Tutorial Project\Tutorial
Project:Almost all of the information in the tutorial also applies to InstallScript installation projects. Differences are explicitly noted in the tutorial text.
