Running application from setup project not returning UI culture


Running application from setup project not returning UI culture



I created a localized wpf apllication. To install the application in the system I used msi installer provided by visual studio. Upon completion of the installation i run the application by running the commit custom action command.
In the application I have written the below code to get the current UI Culture


commit custom action


CultureInfo ci = CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture;
string name = ci.Name;



My systems current language is in Spanish, but on installing the application via the installer it is returning to en-US culture but should remain Spanish. Once i close the application and run it again using the desktop icon it returns to the correct culture.


en-US



Can anyone help why it is returning en-US on running application using MSI.





Whether you see the installer running in Spanish or English?

Installer is in English, but my wpf application is localized. when it runs by the installer then aplication window was opening in English which should be in Spanish

Why can't you make the installer language to Spanish and give it a try.

It's related to this:



Windows installer using the NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM instead of login user



Custom actions run from Visual Studio setup projects run with the local system account, not with the installing user's credentials. There isn't a good solution to this (see the related link) because there's no good way to start a program from the install as if it was started from the logged on interactive user.

Opening a url is failing in Swift breakpointing inside the callback and logging success shows false.

The problem is that now I am using dbeaver for mac and this guide is not working. I can go on until the moment that I select my result set like in the image below: exporting data set But once I go further in the process, in the last step I get: no query Note that in "source" it was suppose to show the query that originated the result set, but instead it says just "select.

Normally my query would show up there automatically and I couldn't find any option that corrects this problem in the menus. Please help me! Thanks. Aft...
