LanguageDLL with /S switch

i just figured, that when i run my installer that uses LangDLL with the silent switch, the language dialog still gets displays.. is this intentional?

well.. the IfSilent workaround works, but still i wonder if it's intentional

Yes, this is intentional. The choice is up to you, if you want to display it or not. The MUI, for example, does use IfSilent.

What is the theory behind the use of in silent mode the option to display a Language Dialog?

IMHO, silent should not display any thing.

That's up to you. Some users might want to just hide the wizard dialogs. The MUI, which wraps a large part of the internals of NSIS, does use IfSilent to suppress the language dialog on silent installations, along other things.

.. IfSilent ... on MUI now I understand what you said, thanks! I think I was reading the replies to quickly, sorry.
