PRB: Visual InterDev Does Not Support Multiple Language Versions

ID: Q194019

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

As a Visual InterDev developer, you have the ability to install multiple languages and switch to them using International Settings (click Options from the Tools menu). In some areas of Visual InterDev, the strings will be in the language that was last installed. Let's say, for example, you install the German version and then the French version. After installing the French version, you switch the International Settings to German. In some areas, the strings will still be in French.


CAUSE

Visual InterDev does not support the installation of multiple language versions.


RESOLUTION

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).

You'll have to uninstall the last version of Visual InterDev that you installed and then reinstall the desired language version. Follow these steps to do this:

  1. Uninstall the last version of Visual InterDev.


  2. After you have finished removing the program, open Windows Explorer and delete all files in the \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VIntDev98 folder.


  3. From the Start button, click Run and type REGEDIT.


  4. In the Registry Editor, delete the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\6.0.


  5. Delete the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\6.0.


  6. Reinstall the desired language version.



STATUS

This behavior is by design.
