The "WBSetup" project corresponds to the standard setup program of WEBDEV sites. This project is a WINDEV project.

Managing additional languages in WBSetup

Translate the interface of the project (windows, controls, and so on) as well as the code messages.
Reminder: WDMSG is used to simplify the translation of a project by checking out all the project messages (control captions, window titles, ...) and by checking them back in once they have been translated. WDMSG is an additional module of WINDEV. Contact PC SOFT Sales Department for more details about WDMSG.

Caution: We advise you to rename the directory of the custom WBSetup project. Therefore, when installing an upgraded version of WEBDEV, the custom WDSetup project will not be overwritten and all your modifications will be stored.

Configure the setup program of the WEBDEV site. Choose a setup by physical media.
In the "Customizing the setup" plane, select "A custom WBSetup" and select the executable of custom setup program.
Note: The "Advanced parameters" buttons allows you to associate the framework (".DLL" files) with the executable of the custom setup program. This button also enables you to associate any other file with the setup program. You can for example select a setup program that will be installed by the custom WDSetup.
Continue to configure the setup program and generate the setup program
