I am facing problem while upgrading an Higher version over Lower version. I have implemented multilingual support; Assume that older version being installed in French while doing upgrade it is coming in English which is my Operating System language; in fact it should show in French.
Have you configured the installation to prompt for the users language, rather than detecting the OS locale? Simply go to the Releases view, find your release and ensure that the "Languages Dialog" is set to yes.
Since the installed language of the app is different to the OS language, you'll need to prompt the user. You can't detect a previously installed language that early in InstallShield as far as I know.

The road map seems rather intransparent to me. Is this planned? Is there any info on a potential release date? We require to use WebView2 on machines that aren't necessarily connected to the internet. The full browser would not be needed, which is why the idea of WebView2 Runtime seems like the way to go. As of right now however the installer needs to connect to the internet.
I work on the WebView2 project. The installer you linked to is actually the standalone evergreen installer that can be used entirely offline :). If the device is online, the installed runtime will try to update itself, but offline it works fine too just not getting any updates. If you run a later version of the installer when a older version is already installed, the installer will update the version of WebView2 Runtime on the device (this is basically how you can update the evergreen runtime offline). Right now the Runtime and installer are under preview and we strongly advise against redistributing it outside your org/company. We are targeting Q4 this year for GA.
Fixed version is not out for preview yet. You can find our roadmap with dates on https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/roadmap.
We have a variety of Windows CE 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 and Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. Our apps use Compact Framework 3.5, developed with Visual Studio 2008. The apps support multiple languages; the user is allowed to select the language when logging into the app.
Our issue is, while Visual Studio supports Spanish (United States) as a language choice, none of our devices have this installed. As a workaround, I can use the Spanish (Mexico) es_MX language, which is installed, and modify the DateTimeFormat and NumberInfo properties as run-time. However I don't feel comfortable with this approach, if there is a better way. Will I run into some other issues by taking this approach? Is there a preferred alternative? Note, .Net CF 3.5 does not support the CultureAndRegionBuilder class.
I know that developing with Ruby on Rails in Windows is not always easy, and I read lots of complaints that it just isn't fully compatible with Windows.
Is grails the same? Does it matter whether I dev on Windows/Linux/OSX?
Thanks!
Use the OS that you prefer. I've been developing Grails apps on Windows at work (because I have to) for a few years. Outside of work I use Linux exclusively.
Where I am, people use Linux and Windows to develop in Grails. There has been no problem regarding OS specific stuff.
In fact you should be more concerned about the Java flavor and version you have (some linux distros have an open source implementation), and, of course, the Grails version.
My advices:
Pick any OS you want (I even use both on the same Grails project with no problems)
Try to use the Oracle JDK (for me openJDK is a bit slower)
Pick a Grails version and stick to it as much as you can (preferably don't change the version it can be painful to upgrade a project)
I developed Grails apps on Windows and Linux. IMHO, use the OS you'll be the most productive with and has the toolset you want. Linux is definitively more friendly to programmers in terms of available tools in general. Windows developer community is coming up with interesting project such as Chocolatey and Console2 among other things. I personally prefer Linux because it offers me a lot more to learn besides just learning Grails for example.
i am trying to setup the tidesdk in titanium studio but it won't work for some reason... Here is what i've done so far:
Downloaded Titanium Studio v2.1.2.201208301612 from appcelerator
Downloaded TideSDK v1.2.0.RC4 from tidesdk.org
Added the sdk in Titanium Studio like this: "Help > install specific
titanium sdk"
Basically i just followed the instructions from this: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/titanium-desktop-transition/wv6fiRD6Sbo
But the option to start a new desktop project won't come up. Is there something i am doing wrong or something?
I am using lion 10.7.4, according to this google group that shouldn't be a problem. Anyone's got any ideas?
Here are a couple of things to help you on your way:
Lion and Mountain Lion with Xcode 4.x are supported in the upcoming 1.3.0 but not 1.2.0.RC4. 1.2.0.RC4 will work fine with Snow Leopard 10.6.x on Xcode 3.x. Another possibility in the short term is to consider developing on either a Windows 7, or Ubuntu 11.04 virtual machine until the 1.3.0-beta has released. This release is expected very soon and provides updates to core libraries and offers support for current operating system versions of OSX, Windows and Linux.
Code you write in 1.2.0.RC4 will work fine in 1.3.0 since there are no API changes. The only change will be in the JavaScript namespace. In 1.3.0, the JavaScript namespace for the future will use 'Ti' as opposed to 'Titanium'. By setting a global variable in your code, you can start using 'Ti' to begin with.
var Ti = Titanium;
As far as Titanium Studio, unfortunately Appcelerator dropped the desktop support but have revived it. They have come out with an update that is reported to work:
http://preview.appcelerator.com/appcelerator/studio/desktop/update/beta/
If your run into any issue, an alternative is to download TiDev Community:
http://api.appcelerator.net/p/pages/app_page?token=m4rZLSv6
TiDev Community is really reaching the end of its life cycle but it will work for creating in running your apps in the short term.
The TideSDK team has a new app under development called TideSDK Builder. TideSDK Builder will provide the basics of creating, running and packaging your apps. It will also feature scaffolds for kickstarting your app projects. A new tidebuilder CLI will also be available with comparable functionality. We are hoping to bundle these for the official release of 1.3.0 that is targeted for the end of September.
Appcelerator has provided a Titanium Studio SDK. The TideSDK team is exploring this to see that Titanium Studio IDE can continue for the future.
One last thing to keep in mind is that Titanium Studio and TiDev Community no longer support the network packaging service that Appcelerator once offered. This means local packaging in the interim while TideSDK team continues to examine options.

I've drawn the short straw at work and I have to support the Installshield 2009 setup application. When I open the .ISM file in InstallShield 2009 Professional I get this message:
The following languages will be disabled as they were included in this project but are not installed on this system:
Chinese (Traditional)
German
French (France)
Italian
Swedish
Chinese (Simplified)
Do I need to install something in Windows XP, or do I need to install something in InstallShield? Any insight would be very valuable!
The problem was that I need Installshield Premier and not Installshield Professional (which is the one I have).
You need Premier instead of Professional for multilingual setups. If you can't afford the upgrade, I'd suggest migrating to WiX.
