Thank you for your comment. In Project->Advanced, I found the [maintenance mode] setting. If I check the [Enable Maintenance Mode support] option and change the product name from ProductA1.0 to ProductA1.0.1 in a patch project, after the patch installer is installed, only [ProductA1.0] was displayed in [Add or Remove Programs]. So I think in my case, maybe [Enable Maintenance Mode support] is the resolution.

By using installanywhere2012, we have created a base installer for ProductA1.0, the version of it is 1.0 . Now we want to create a patch for ProductA1.0 depending on the installanywhere project file of ProductA1.0. The version of the patch should be 1.0.1, we know how to change it in the project. In this patch, we also want to change the product name from ProductA1.0 to ProductA1.0.1. When we change the value of [Product Name] from ProductA1.0 to ProductA1.0.1 in [Project -> Info -> Product Name], and install the patch installer, the following two entries are displayed in [Add or Remove Programs]:confused:: ProductA1.0 ProductA1.0.1 The expected result is only ProductA1.0.1 should be displayed. Do someone know how to change the product name in a patch with only new product name displayed in [Add or Remove Programs]? Or is it possible to change the product name in a patch? Any comment will be appreciated, thanks. Polo

So installshield 2008 not support multilingual minor upgrade in one project?

polosheng · ‎Dec 22, 2009

Hi, I found a problem when I run a minor upgrade. I made a multilingual installshield msi project(Japanese and English) . And the default language in project is English. I built two versions of this project. Firstly I installed one version in Japanese, and the log and messages worked fine in Japanese. Then I run another version, a Japanese message like "whether I will do upgrade..." showed, and I selected Yes. By far, everything was OK. but when I checked the log, the content in log was in English! And the messages showed in minor upgrade were also in English!（I used msiprocessmessage function to show message）. When upgrade, the value of ProductLanguage property was 1033(Englsih) and the SELECTED_LANGUAGE was 2052(Japanese). Does somebody know why ProductLanguage and SELECTED_LANGUAGE are different in minor upgrade? I would like to log in Japanese and show japanese messages in minor upgrade after the japanese version was installed. I will appreciate for your help and sorry for my pool english.

It can be a defined value as seen below or simply a number (e.g., 50, 710, etc) RepaintControl(hRegDlg, TEXT_PN40); InvalidateRect and UpdateWindow are User32 function calls.

I haven't tried that myself, but it is worth a look see. Personally, I think that might prove to be more of a headache than it is worth. Besides, all the standard dialogs that come in Install Shield are already skinable. It wouldn't be hard to change over either. It is just a setting change in your project. Not to mention the fact that there shouldn't be any code changes. Hope this helps... Thank you again for your reply. I found it was impossible to change the color of font in installscript msi project with standard dialog.

I think you needn't change the product code.

Thank you for your reply. But I'm not using skinable dialog, so in installscript msi project, without using skinable dialog, there's no way to change the color of the font in dialog?:confused:

You can use something like ../../../your folder to copy the exe in the path you want.
