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 ? – dhilmathy Jun 29 at 10:31 ...
