Strange behaviour with Strings after importing project from IS2008
Hi
I do have a multilingual InstallScript MSI project (german, french, italian) which I imported into InstallShield 2010 (from InstallShield 2008). After a few tweeks, I was able to generate the setup.exe.
Installing a fresh version of the software with that setup.exe is working without any problem.
But, when I update an already installed version (installed with InstallShield 2008). The program installs correctly and runs as expected, but there are a few strange things:
[LIST=1]
During update process, a progress bar is displayed, but the text normally showing on top of this progressbar is blank during the whole process
In the startup menu in the programs, the update created all entries again, but with names such as ##ID_STRING74##, ##IDS_SHORTCUT_DISPLAY_NAME3##,...
Under Programs and Features, the program name is displayed correctly, but the publisher is ##COMPANY_NAME##.
What am I doing wrong?
The installer is written to offer the choice between german, french and italian. When installing the old version (written with IS2008), the language requester opens where I selected french, it then extracts the 1036.mst into the "Downloaded Installation" directory and installs the whole program. Then, I do run the setup.exe of the newer version (imported into IS2010). It asks if I do want to do the update and when I click on ok, it extracts also a 1036.mst into the "Downloaded Installation" directory. But WHY does InstallShield then not use these entries to translate the ID_STRING74 into the real string?
