localized folder names
Hi,
I've been searching for a while now, but can't find a way to name the folders that are created during my IS setup according to the language the setup is performed in.
E.g. if the installation is performed in English a subfolder of my InstallDir should be named "Help", if the installation is run in German it should be named "Hilfe".
According to the InstallShield help under "Directory Table" it should be possible to localize a folder name:
So anyone got an idea on how to do this? Is it perhaps possible to reference a string entry from the "DefaultDir" column in the Directory Table?
Best, Felix

DefaultDir
The DefaultDir column contains the directory's name (localizable) under the parent directory.
So anyone got an idea on how to do this? Is it perhaps possible to reference a string entry from the "DefaultDir" column in the Directory Table?

I don't know your project type, if it is InstallScript project, maybe you can try Script-defined Folders.
