Installshield: how to force install english?
06.11.13 at 05:37:21
 
i got my copy of Dethkarz today, but now when i install the game, it automatically install it in french, while i want to install it in english! (the game box on the back have many language including english, so there must be the english language somewhere, and the few voices are in english as well, just the text change).

I see it use Installshield, and i've been wondering if there's a command i can use to force-install it in english? anyone know?

the game is supposed to have english language, since it seem to be the European version. The manual is multi language as well. The game come from Italy, so...i'm pretty sure if someone try to install it on an Italian Windows, it'll be in Italian...

It's like on many Nintendo DS games, the game detect the system language and you can't change the game language unless you change it in your system settings.

I am pretty sure only the installer will be in French and the game itself will be in English.

^THIS^

BTW, If I understood well this game came from Italy from an eBay seller. Has this seller any other copy of this game available? Could you send me the link please (via PM)? Smiley

i've put a link in the games section...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/330755224950

i'm going to try installing Windows 98SE in english and install the game.

update: i tried installing Win98SE on another computer, an english version, and it does switch the installation in english, and will install the game in english.

So is there a way to force the installation in english? some command line option maybe?

Change the default language in the Windows control panel.
