Conflict on the use of Multilanguage Runtime

Step further from previous post.

1) Situation.

I am using the multilanguage Runtime.

It starts deploying the application and at the end (just before)
the instalation of the BDE ask for the language...
It offers the languages dBASE has to Install dBASE, English, spanish
 italian, japanesse etc... which obviously it
is not the set of languages my own aplication offers.

Also .. whatever I do I can not get a value that inform me
of the language choosen.

I feel this is only useful to install the actual dBASE

2) situation
I put into INNO the languages I want to offer as
options.
I state that I want the language dialog to show up.
And I set the value of the language to be placed on the INI file
so I can get it ...

Like this....

[Languages]
Name: "en"; MessagesFile: "compiler:Default.isl"
Name: "es"; MessagesFile: "compiler:Languages\Spanish.isl"

[INI]   //     Jonny Kwekkeboom  Help ... thanks
Filename: "\EvilFOTOsx.ini"; Section: "Settings"; Key:
"Language";
String: 
; = The internal name of the selected language by user...

[Setup]
ShowLanguageDialog=yes

.
.
All works fine ... from the beginning I get the dialog option so the intall
process
continues on the language specified...
And at the end the INI file get the indication of the language choosen...

But...(as usual)
At the end it comes the Dialog box from dBASE asking the above mentioned
options...

Which is a duplication of all.


I wonder if you could tell me how to get rid of this last dialog...

Or, please confirm if you are getting it .. or how do you solve this problem
with
multilanguage runtime.

Thanks

Filename: \PlusRuntime-b2059_EN.exe; Parameters: "-s -a 
Runtime=""\dBASE\Plus\Runtime""
BDE=""\Borland Shared\BDE"" 
Silent -sr"; StatusMsg: "Installing dBASE Runtime and BDE...";

Make that one line. Now, for the multi-language, the problem is, as I 
understand it, that it's asking about the language to install? I am not 
sure that can be silenced, or that you can pass a parameter to it to ask 
for the language ... the whole point of that specific installer is to 
allow the user to select which files to install (I believe specifically 
the issue is the plus_xx.dll file that is used by the runtime for the 
language strings for messages and errors that the runtime has to display.

Hi,

the dbase Runtime Engine EXE file doesnt have any option (parameter) for 
start with any language... normal the language will be set same as Windows 
have or English as default (e.g. installed Polish Windows)...

If you start the engine with silent parameters this problem solved ...
When the destination folder of Runtime or BDE not exists on user system the 
Engine will be visible and ask for the detsaination folder(s)...

But dont know yet of the language ask after ask for the folder(s) or not....

Glad that at least helped.

For the multi-language stuff, you might request (wishlist) that they 
give you the ability to put a flag in there for the specific language.

... I have tried to get the silent ... but no way
On the INNO help it states using the

/SILENT

Bu t I really do not know where to use it.
I have tried this different possibilities but INNO complains.

Source: "C:\PROY_A3B\BDEStuff.reg"; DestDir: ""     
/SILENT

[Run]
Filename: "\PlusRuntime-b2059.exe"   /SILENT

Filename: "\REGEDIT.EXE"; Parameters: "/S
""\BDEStuff.reg"""
/SILENT

How do you get it to

????
