Localizing the installation
Actuate uses InstallShield and assumes that you are familiar with this program. You can change the installation appearance to suit regional preferences by using locale-specific installation libraries provided by Actuate or by directly customizing the InstallShield installation.
To localize an Actuate installation, you can use InstallShield in the following ways:
Change the Setup.gif image that appears at the start of the installation.
Change the application name that appears during the installation by modifying setup.ini.
Change the text of the resource IDs in brand.rc for an Actuate product, and rebuild ac_brand.dll to change the content of the Actuate dialog boxes that appear during the installation.
Change custom InstallShield dialog boxes by extracting _isuser.dll from a cabinet file and modifying _isuser.dll.
After you change these files, test the installation process, and make the installation media.
The following procedures refer to the setup files contained in the Actuate product distribution package. Download the distribution package from the FTP or other site. Using WinZip or other archiving utility, extract the contents of the self‑extracting executable file to a local machine. Modify the standard installation files to create a custom installation.
