I guess most of us are not relying on the IA Registry due to this. In your case, you may totally delete the IA registry file and perform a new installation. But if some other installed products are made by InstallAnywhere, you may 'corrupt' them as well .... Otherwise you will need to edit the file line by line which may be a lot of headache. Suggestion would be to not use IA registry by checking Project/Info/"Do not update the product registry", then create your own registry file so you will have better control in it.

Hello Tracy, I have followed the below steps and was able to localize a license agreement file 1. Add a license agreement action on the pre install sequence. 2. Under Project->Locales, select all locales which will be supported by the install 3. Select a default agreement file (for example English) and call it agreement_en.txt. Place the file in the IA project directory. 4. Create a localized version for each language you want to support in the same directory as default agreement file. It is recommend that the files are placed in the IA project directory, and that the the files are named in an easy to identify format such as agreement_en.txt, agreement_fr.txt ,agreement_nl.txt etc etc. 5. On the install panel add each agreement_xx.txt file to the installer. For the destination folder select the magic folder "DO NOT INSTALL" in the drop down list. This indicates that the files will be bundled with the installer (so that it is included and can be shown when the user selects a language), but the file will not actually be installed onto the machine during the install. 6. Save your project 7. Go to the locales folder. 8. For each country edit the custom_xx file and search for the string LicenseAgrAction 9. You should see two lines that look similar to the following: # LicenseAgrAction.33aad7069579.resourceName=agreement_en.txt LicenseAgrAction.33aad7069579.resourceName=agreement_en.txt 10. For each custom_xx file, change the second line (the one WITHOUT the #) to the license file name which reflects the language code of the custom_xx file. For instance, in the file custom_fr , the second line would be changed to: LicenseAgrAction.33aad7069579.resourceName=agreement_fr.txt 11. Repeat this change for each locale. 12. Build your project.
