Software Deployment

Hey kardock,

Maybe you could read an environment variable on the PC that would be either set to French or English. This could then be read in a launch condition which would set the features you wish to install.

Lots of information if you search for 'setting launch condition'.

By passed parameters do you mean through command line?
If so; I would use a property (ex. LANG) on command line with the language value (FR or EN) and then use that property as a condition (ex. LANG="FR") for the language components. In this ways you could use that property in a transform later on if suited.

This could then be read in a launch condition which would set the features you wish to install.As a WPS user, you should be aware that the AppSearch and LaunchCondition actions are in the wrong order in the default templates. One of the first tasks in a new WPS install is to switch them round (followed by yet another 'feature request/bug report' to Altiris which they can sit on and do nothing with for 6 years [and counting...])

Hi kardock,

We have a multi-language environment at my current workplace also and have had a requirement for this sort of thing from time to time.

As part of the imaging process of our devices during SysPrep mini-setup the local support staff enter the computername and select the regional location and keyboard settings, this sets the registry keys and values found here:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\International

You could do a system search for values here (sCountry or more specifically sLanguage) and then perform the necessary actions depending on what the system search returns.

Regards,
Brian
