STATUSEX dialog language problem
I have a small problem with the language displayed in the Dialog STATUSEX (DialogId_10305). I added the dialog from an resource dll (...\Program Files\Macrovision\IS2008\ObjectsPro\InstallShield Object Installer\_IsRes.dll). My projecttype is InstallScript MSI.
That being said, here's the main problem:
The Installation features more than one language. I can get every other Dialog that shows to display itself in the language I chose in the beginning but the STATUSEX dialog always shows up in English.
I have searched installsite.org and this forum quite extensively for answers but either I don't search for the right thing or there is no answer out there yet.
Any hints, ideas or solutions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dolving.

Re: STATUSEX dialog language problem
It's just a temporary fix but better than a mixed up language setup.

Re: STATUSEX dialog language problem
Another thing to note is the STATUSEX dialog should never be modified. The InstallScript engine expects this dialog to always contain certain controls. Attempting to modify this dialog can result in unexpected runtime behavior.

Re: STATUSEX dialog language problem
I asked this in another post, but that one mentions using skins, so I'm not sure the right people (such as you) would necessarily see that post. If I don't want to change any existing controls on STATUSEX, but simply add a bitmap onto the dialog at a specific position (and use a different bitmap based on language (Windows environment), for a multi-language localized Installscript-MSI project), can you please confirm if this is absolutely impossible in the current IS 2009 architecture?
Thanks.

Re: STATUSEX dialog language problem
Modifying the resources may work if the existing controls are not modified. However, this isn't something that is explicitly tested so you may want to try this in a test first. Some bad behavior to look out for would be the progress bar not updating, controls not displayed/painted correctly, etc.
