Little german translation problem (instance dialog)

[gulliwahn]

Hello

I've recently created my first Advanced Installer Project for one of our applications. I'm very happy on how it turned out.
No problems so far, the installation it self works perfectly.

However I have a small tiny little problem in terms of the german translation.
I've enabled multiple instances using the option "Generate instances at installation time".
During the start of the setup a dialog apears where I can choose whether I want to create a new instance or upgrade an existing one.
All strings on this dialog are translated in german except one. This is the text "Choose custom name for the instance:".

I tried to find out where I could change this text, but I can't find it.
Is there a way I can change this text?

Thank you very much for your assistance and keep up the great work!

Best regards from switzerland

Hi Stefan and welcome to Advanced Installer forums.

Thank you for your interest in Advanced Installer.

Indeed, that string is not yet translated in German language. It will be updated in a future version of Advanced Installer. Thank you for bringing it to our attention!

Also, can you please send us the correct and desired German translation for that string?

Meanwhile, you can go to the path below, open the "setup-res.dll" file using Visual Studio and try to modify the German translation of that string:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Caphyon\Advanced Installer 11.6.1\stubs\res\

Hi Eusebiu

Thank you for the reply.

First of all, my translation of the text. I think the following is appropriate in this case:
"Wählen Sie einen Namen für die Instanz:"
You probably have to make the textbox a little bit smaller so the text can fit.

Second, I changed the setup-res.dll for this case. It worked out well, thank you for the suggestion.

FYI:
I had a problem after updating Advanced Installer from Version 11.4.1 to 11.6.1.
Due to the conversion of my project for the new version, the option "Generate instances at installation time" was unchecked.
Sadly I found this after 1 hour trying to install a second instance...

But anyway, my problem ist fixed and everything works fine.

Thanks for the support.

Best regards
Stefan

Thank you for the translated string. I'm glad you got this working.

Indeed, this seems to be an Advanced Installer issue. A fix will be available in a future version of Advanced Installer, thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Hello Eusebiu

FYI:
The problem that the option "Generate instances at installation time" is unchecked seems to be a generell issue.
Everytime I open my project in version 11.6.3 the option is unchecked. I check it again, save and close the project, open it again and the option ist unchecked.

I hope you can fix this in a future version of Advanced Installer.

Kind regards
Stefan
