Acrobat 9 Customization Wizard - Force Installed Language

[AlexN...@adobeforums.com]

Hi,

I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Customization Wizard to generate an .MST file to install Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 silently. I've selected in the wizard to install the product in French language. But when the product is installed, it's in English. The users have to manually change the setting in the Preference menu to get the French language.

Is that a "known" bug ? Is there a workaround for it ?

Thanks.

first of all make sure the msi you create is indeed an English French and German installer and not just an English one.

Easiest way to check is to see the Acrobat setup file directory which should included 1031.mst 1033 and 1036 mst files as well as the Acrobat msi file.

The option you are referring to in the customization wizard only refers to the language during the installation, not the (UI) language of the installed application.

One way of installing the French version would be to use a command line pointing to the customized mst as well as the required language mst file:
msiexec /i AcroPro.msi TRANSFORMS="1036.mst;custom.mst" /qb (or /qn or whatever you like)
this will result in a french installation of Acrobat.

Hi Simon,

I've downloaded the licensed version (ESD) of Acrobat 9 Pro. It's a multilanguage one (English, French, German).

I've followed your instruction to concatenate the transforms files and it worked flawlessly.

Thanks.
