Installshield

Does InstallAware support multi-lingual installations out of the box yet? When I last evaluated it, some time ago, it supported multi-lingual installations but you had to do the entire translation yourself using some convoluted editor. In the end we chose InstallShield purely because it provided multi-lingual dialogs ready translated. So you only had to translate strings specific to your project which made much more sense. Sadly the decision was flawed and defintely did not save time. In practice Installshield makes such a hash of managing your multi-lingual strings and components that I waste vast amounts of time directly editing the underlying MSI tables to correct what Installshield did! In fact I spend so much time in the DirectEditor window of Installshield it makes me wonder why we bothered buying Installshield in the first place!!! If I had to choose over again, I doubt Installshield would be in the frame.

Off the top of my head I couldn't say - we don't have any multi-lingual installations yet.

Just as a side note - I just downloaded this, and I noticed that they wrote it using Delphi! Woot!

I believe it's a mixture of Delphi and C++. Mind you that shouldn't be a surprise really - if you go into the ISV market they are the predominant languages, after all. :)
