Language Selection on Vista
Hi,

I´ve a setup which I created with the latest version of NSIS. It is a multi language setup (German & English). On XP everything works fine. The language selection dialog occures and every language in the combobox is available.

On my Vista VM (Business with all updates) it works to without any problems. But on my friends PC (Vista Home Premium with all updates) there is only the english language in the combobox available. This happens with all my setups.

Is there a solution for this?

Best regards

Hi,

thx for this information.

Interesting...

the language selection dialog of Modern UI hides languages unsupported by the user's selected codepage by default. This prevents the user from selecting unsupported languages and getting garbage for text.
It is a multi language setup (German & English) ... there is only the english language in the combobox available
How can English be supported, but not German? What code page would do that? If it's able to display English correctly I find it hard to understand how it could mess up German

english is just A-Z, german (like swedish) has other special characters (äÄiÜÖÆØÅ etc) that don't fit in the legacy 7-bit ascii char set that other code pages are based on (but it contains everything needed for english), so you need the right codepage for other languages


True that...
