%CURLNG% does not work anymore in version 7.7

[obordes]

Since upgrading to SetupBuilder v7.7.3648, %CURLNG% is always set to 1033.

With the previous 7.6.3695 version, %CURLNG% worked fine and had the right 2055 or 4108 value (swiss german or french).

Hello,

This is the following fix:

FIX : [SB#203261] Installer: Under certain circumstances, the automatic language detection in a multiple-language setup did not work as expected.

%CURLNG% did not work correctly in previous versions. This has been fixed in V7.7 and it works as expected now. The built-in variable holds the currently active (installer) language ID. For example, you create a setup.exe with English (1033) and German (1031) language support. On a German (1031) Windows, it displays the German module and %CURLNG% is 1031. It should not display the machine language ID (this was a bug in previous versions).

What we can do in the next version is to add a new built-in variable (e.g. %DEFLNG%) that returns the language identifier for the system locale.

I have uploaded a simple project for you that can handle this in V7.7. You can then create your own variable.

Does this help?

Hello Friedrich ,

Sorry for the delay.

Adding a new built-in variable in next version would be perfect indeed.
Until then your solution using GetSystemDefaultLangID works quite fine.

Thanks for your answer.

Hi Olivier,

Perfect! Thanks for the update.

We'll add a new built-in variable to the next maintenance build!

Added!

IMPROVEMENT: [SB#204271] Add new built-in %SYSLNG% variable to retrieve the language identifier for the system locale.
