I have several Installshield 12 setups (using non-msi Installscript based setups) for several different products. These share some code, which I would like to put into shared .rul files. However, some of that code can report errors or in general show messages to the user.
Is there any way to share strings (and their translations) across projects like you can share the .rul files? I see the string tables are included inside the ism file, and a bit of rtfm-ing and googling hasn’t found an easy (or even any) way to do this.
You can export and import the string tables in either the General Information view or via the automation interface. If you’ve got more than a couple languages, you’ll probably want to do this as an automation script to avoid driving yourself crazy.
