Install files based on language
Hi all,

I have an install with a language selection dialog and folders with files for each language (english folder, french folder....). I need to install only that folder that corresponds to language selection (if user choose english only english folder will be installed)...I don't know how to change the file path at compiling:stare:
Section
${Select} $LANGUAGE
${Case} ${LANG_ENGLISH}
;install english folder
${Case} ${LANG_GERMAN}
;install german folder
${Case} ${LANG_FRENCH}
;install french folder
${EndSelect}
SectionEnd

Please help me...

If you want install files of different languages to the same folder, e.g.:

SetOutPath $INSTDIR\Lang
${Select} $LANGUAGE
${Case} ${LANG_ENGLISH}
File .\lang\en.dll
${Case} ${LANG_GERMAN}
File .\lang\de.dll
${Case} ${LANG_FRENCH}
File .\lang\fr.dll
${EndSelect}

If to different directories, e.g.:

${Select} $LANGUAGE
${Case} ${LANG_ENGLISH}
SetOutPath $INSTDIR\en
File .\lang\en.dll
${Case} ${LANG_GERMAN}
SetOutPath $INSTDIR\de
File .\lang\de.dll
${Case} ${LANG_FRENCH}
SetOutPath $INSTDIR\fr
File .\lang\fr.dll
${EndSelect}
