Uninstall not localized

[jorgeltx]

We encountered a scenario, which appears to be a bug, but we would like to get your comments.

We install an application on a multi-language OS when English is the main language. Later on, we decided to change the language to Polish and uninstall the application. The application uninstalls properly but the dialog strings are not localized for the new language (Polish). The MSI is configured to us the system default language for installation and support Polish.

Can you explain why this behavior?

We thank you in advance for your time and comments.

Hello,


This is not a bug. When uninstalling, the installer uses the same language that was used when the package was installed.

The MSI is configured to us the system default language for installation and support Polish.

If the msi installer is configured to use the system default language then all other languages will be ignored.

Could the behavior be corrected if we use the other option “Display the language selection dialog”?
Would the package uninstall using the language we used to install or the one current in use?

Thanks

Hi,

No, this will not affect the language displayed at uninstall.

Would the package uninstall using the language we used to install or the one current in use?

The package will use the installation language not the current language of the system.

Bogdan
