Hi I would like to know how add setup language dialog to instalation procces.

I use Installshield 2010.

I google it and found the I must create Setup Lancher.

The Setup.exe setup launcher is a bootstrap application that manages the aforementioned scenarios. The Setup.exe tab for a release in the Releases view is where you specify information such as whether you want to use a Setup.exe launcher. To learn more, see Setup.exe Tab for a Release.

Ok, so I looked at setup.exe tab.

While the setup.exe manages this behavior at run-time, almost all the relevant language settings are on the Build tab instead. Here's what you need to do.

  • Make sure you've already included at least two languages in the General Information view. Note the remaining steps related to translation; namely you will likely want to translate any text you add to the installation.
  • Once you have at least two languages in the project, you can select to include them in the release either in the Release Wizard or in the following settings on the Build tab of the Releases view: Data Languages, UI Languages.
  • Once you've included at least two languages in the release, the Languages Dialog setting on the Build tab will allow you to let your end user select a language at installation time.

  • I chose 2 languages in General Information but when I run setup.exe I can’t choose language for installation. Instalation is only in ENG. If I choose installshield project properties > language tab > 2 languages are checked. I need somehow add dialog for setup language. Where is it Build tab ? Any tutorial with screens ? Thank you very much for help but for beginner is so confusing. Because I chose 2 language but I dont have a way how chose languge for installation. I cant find Build tab for installshield project in Visual Studio. I tried right click on project > properties - but no build tab – arva Feb 26 '12 at 21:20
  • The Build tab is on the Releases view. I've edited my answer to mention this. – Michael Urman Feb 27 '12 at 12:04
