b. From Save as Type, select Installer Projects (*.wsi).
c. Click Save.
The .WSI is saved and then is compiled to an .MSI. Only .MSIs appear in the New
Installation File dialog box as templates.
To test the new template:
1. Select File menu > New.
The New Installation File dialog box appears and the file you just created appears in
the Custom Templates category. If the New Installation File dialog box does not
contain the new template, check to make sure you saved the installation as an .MSI
in the Templates directory.
2. Select the template you just created and click OK.
3. Check that the default language has been changed:
The Default language should be the only one listed on the Language menu.
In Installation Expert > Dialogs page, display any dialog box. The dialog box
should appear in the new default language rather than in English.
You can use this template to create installations in which the default language is the one
you selected.
To create a template with a different default language in the Visual
Studio integrated editor
Note
This procedure describes how to create a template for an installation within a solution.
You also can change the default language in templates that create a merge module
within a solution, or a stand-alone installation or merge module. However, you must
start with an installation project file (.WSI or .MSI) because you cannot specify the
default language in an .MSI.
