Removing a Language from an Installation
Windows Installer Editor Reference
settings of either of the linked releases is also applied to the other release, until you
break the link.
To break a link between releases
1.
Select Installation Expert > Languages page.
2.
From Current Release, select a release.
3.
Click Share at the right of the page. The Share Release dialog box appears.
4.
From Copy/Share Languages From, select <None>.
5.
Click OK.
The link between the selected release and other releases is broken. The current settings
of the releases are not changed, but changing settings for one release no longer affects
the settings of the other release.
You can disable a language in an installation. This means the installation still contains
the translated strings for the disabled language but the installation is not compiled to
that language.
You also can delete a language entirely from an installation. This means the language is
removed from the Languages page and its translated strings are deleted from the
installation. This is not recommended if you have added or changed text strings in a
language, because the customized strings are lost.
Note
If the installation contains Web resources, adding or changing a language regenerates
the Web dialog boxes in the installation.
To disable a language in an installation
1.
Select Installation Expert > Languages page and clear the check box next to the
language to disable.
The translated text strings for that language remain in the installation, but the
installation is not translated to that language during compile. To compile the installation
to that language again, simply mark its check box. In this way you can easily turn a
language off and on.
To delete a language entirely from an installation
1.
Select Installation Expert > Languages page, click a language, and click Delete at
the right of the page.
The language is removed from the Languages page in the installation. Text strings for
the deleted language are deleted from the installation, unless that language is selected
in another release. The language will still be available in other installations if it is one of
the pre-translated languages or if you added it to the installation template.
Warning
When you delete a language this way, all custom translated text strings in that language
are lost.
