Sending values to the application from setup wizard

[jayakumarn]

:confused: Hi All,
I have chosen Install shield 2009 for my project .Still I am having some queries with the install shield.I have used multilanguage option with install shield.If the user selects any language eg:FRENCH i want to know in application startup for a first time which language he selects.... Because i want to localize the application according to the language he/she selects?????

Please suggest me!

For display text, you might look into using string table entries, which automatically display text associated with the selected language.

For other items where you need to know the selected language, there's the ProductLanguage property in MSI (and SELECTED_LANGUAGE in InstallScript).

Hi,
so we can use Product language property to get the language selected by user in setup wizard !! Right?
IF so how can we get the values stored in product language propety from the application!!!

For a first try, perhaps have your application call MsiGetProductInfo with the INSTALLPROPERTY_LANGUAGE constant?
