Unable to build multi language installers with Standalone build
Hi,
We've been using Installshield 2010 and the Standalone builder for a while and all seemed to work fine.
Recently we added a new Windows 2012 machine to our build server pool.
This machine is apparently unable to produce multi-language installers, for our installscript setups.
We've got the same standalone builder installed on it and on an old machine, but the new Windows 2012 machine only builds the default language.
Logs from the 2 servers using IsCmdBld.exe (please ignore the file location errors, the build process handles those...).
Both are x64, old is Windows 2003, new is Windows 2012:
======= Old Server. As you can see it is iterating through all the languages:
C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2010 StandaloneBuild\System>IsCmdBld.exe -p

I've copied the entire "2010 Standalone build" from the old server to the new to see if it did any good, but it didn't.
Multi-language installers is a key feature for our product, any help would be appreciated.
We have an Installshield 2010 Premier Edition license.
Thanks.

OK, i managed to solve this.
Aparently it was a mismatch in the setup configurations which caused installshield to implicitly create a new configuration only with the default language. After battling with this for 2 days, i fixed it.
what i had to do was:
1. Open setup in Visual Studio
2. Delete the release and create a new one.
3. Open .isproj in notepad and change "Default Configuration" to "Media" manually...
This worked... Can't really explain why i had to do step 3 though...
