Environment

Novell GroupWise Messenger 2.0

Situation

Symptoms:
Installing GroupWise Messenger Client the language option displays even when the HideAllDialogs=Yes is selected in the SETUP.CFG file.
The language selection option displays during the GroupWise Messenger Client installation even if the dialog is hidden.

Resolution

Steps for Resolution:
This is referring to the InstallShield language selection dialog which the custom Messenger install code has no control over. The dialog is shown before control is transferred to our custom scripting (which then reads
the setup.cfg).

The dialog can be disabled without causing a problem by doing the following: set "EnableLangDlg=N" in Setup.INI (NOTE: that is setup.INI and not Setup.CFG).
