Unable to load localized strings

  • I used the MSDE 2000 Deployment Toolkit to create a setup to distribute my vb.net application alonside MSDE. Creating the complete setup files works like a charm.

    My problem is when I want to run the setup created by the toolkit I am having a nasty message saying "BootStrapLoader" Unable to load localized strings.

  • Check following article: PSS ID Number: 303715

  • Solved, I had to change my INI file for my language.

    wz700: what is PSS ?

  • Product Support Services.

    MSDN article relate to problem (solution) has the PSS ID Number. In the old day it was called Q303715 in the case.

  • I also would like to know what entry you have to add to the INI file to get this error message to go away!

  • I'm having the same issue and can not discern what to do to the ini file.

    Cheers,

  • The INI file in the MSDE deployment toolkit uses an LCID to specify the locale of the resource strings. I think the one in the sample is US English - 1033.

    If you are using any other locale (for example I am using New Zealand English) then you need to specify the LCID for your locale, otherwise you get the error message "Unable to load localized strings"

    You can find a list of LCIDs here

  • What string should we add to the INI file to get this to work, I tried LCID=2057 (for Enlish - UK), but that hasn't worked.

  • Well, this seems to have worked:

    Original setup.ini file looked like:

    1033 is US English, so I added a replica of the 1033 section with the UK English LCID (2057), giving:
