how to pack language DLLs with installshield?

[purish87]

I have created Resource DLLs(Language DLLs) for my application. Now I want to attach those DLLs with the installer through InstallShield.

Are you talking about customizing the strings within the installer itself or just adding these files to the package to be deployed with your application?

I have already created language DLLs. I want to only attach them with installer.Please tell me that how to do it?

One way would be to create a feature for every language containing your language dll. Then set a Condition for the feature modifying the level according to the SystemLanguageID property, e.g. for my german language dll I would create the condition Level = 200, Condition = SystemLanguageID<>"1031" which would deselect the feature if the system language is not german. Remember to set the display value of the feature to "not visible".

Hope this helps...

Another method:

If you want to install the dll´s depending on the selected installation language you can use a Productlanguage=LANGID condition on each of the components (without using separate Features).
