How to localize a productName property using installshield

Hi all,

I am working on localization of msi using installshield 2012. I want to localize a ProductName property. So that based on the mst file it should display the productName also in the respective language. Everything is working fine but I am not able to localize the productname in Add/Remove program list.

Please help me how to achieve this.

Thanks in advance

Sanjay

Thanks for your reply.

The requirement is I have the productName property which I want to localize. So if I install the msi in Chinese language then it should show Chinese product name in Add/Remove program list. Currently it is displaying in English language.

Please help me.

Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,

In your chinese language MST add the property name: ProdcutLanguage value :

You can find the value for your chinese language from the following location after installing the chinese application :

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\

Then see there Language ..if its english u will see 1033..If its chinese your value has changed and take that value and put it into your msi.


Please let me know if this approach is worked for you?

Thanks

But the problem is whenever I build the project it will create a mst file as well and each time I have to open those mst file and then I have to modify the ProductName with respective language. I feel it is time consuming and I have 15 such mst files and every time I have to open it in Installsheild and the I need to modify it.
Is there any way where I can create one Identifier in String Editor and my productName can point to that Identifier???

Thanks,
Sanjay

Hi all,

Found the solution for localizing the ProductName property.

In installShield Go to Property Manager-> Select ProductName property->On top the Property Manager window Click on Make Selected property Localizable.

Thanks,
Sanjay
