Creating a Localizable Property

Project:This information applies to the following project types:

•

Basic MSI

•

DIM

•

InstallScript MSI

•

Merge Module

If you want a property that can have different values based on the language that your installation uses, you can create a localizable property.

To create a localizable property:

1.

In the View List under Behavior and Logic, click Property Manager.

2.

Click the arrow next to the New Property button, and then click Localizable Property. InstallShield adds a new row at the bottom of the view. A new string identifier is listed in the Value column for that property.

3.

In the Name column, enter a name for the new property.

Tip:You can use the String Editor view to set a different property value for each language that your project supports.

To learn how string identifiers and values are used in projects, see Using String Entries in InstallShield.
