I never knew that automatic language selection feature was in MSI engine. Seems like that's why InstallShield guys are using 1033.mst or <LANGID>.mst in their localization. But they do not embed the language transforms which may invoke automatic transform selection. Thanks for the tip.
And as for prior comments, I thought you were using single MSI for multiple languages without transforms. But in your case, there will be no problem for different code pages as long as transforms are used and main msi code page is "0".

I'm not sure why though. Actually, as far as I know, it's naming the transforms according to the codepage numbers (what would make the selection of the language automatic) is discouraged, not the use of the transforms themselves like this: msiexec /i SampleMulti.msi TRANSFORMS="fr-fr.mst" Bye, Gábor ------------------------------------------------------------------- DEÁK JAHN, Gábor -- Budapest, Hungary E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
