SELECTED_LANGUAGE

[NewsArchive]

This is a problem. I do not start the setup with the registry Runonce key
after reboot. I use the OnRebooted function of InstallShield. And in this
function I continue my setup (just some final settings, but there are some
dialog-box in...).

So I think I can't use the Runonce....

Is this something the InstallShield Team forgot? I seems logic to me that if
the system reboots, it continues in the same language as it started ????

So please, any more ideas or do I have to change my setup completely so that
I work with the runonce key???

InstallShield creates a RunOnce entry that you could modify. Problem is that
IS creates the entry after the OnEnd event, so there is no way to change it
from within your script. You would have to use an external program for this
purpose.

I agree that IS should handle this internally.

Why SELECTED_LANGUAGE variable doesn't work propertly in MSI projects?

[NewsArchive]

In what way are you using it? I created an InstallScript custom action which
just displays the value of SELECTED_LANGUAGE and it seems to work fine.
Here's the code I used:

-----
export prototype MyFunction(HWND);

function MyFunction(hMSI)
string sLang;
begin
Sprintf(sLang, "%d", SELECTED_LANGUAGE);
MessageBox(sLang,INFORMATION);
end
