Language selection gone!!!
hi,
after some changes made to my installation file, the language selection is gone... but I certainly didn't modify this part of the script!!!

Here it is:

In Windows registry.

thanks, it worked! by the way, is that normal? I mean, will it happen again whenever I modify the NSIS script?

It will happen again once you install your program again. That's what MUI_LANGDLL_REGISTRY_* are for. From the documentation:

The registry key to store the language. The users preference will be remembered. You can also use it for the uninstaller to display the right language. Don't forget to remove this key in the uninstaller.

so, is it any better to simply delete this:

!define MUI_LANGDLL_REGISTRY_VALUENAME "NSIS:Language"

Might be better to use

!define MUI_LANGDLL_ALWAYSSHOW
