SYMPTOMS

As a Visual InterDev developer, you have the ability to install multiple languages and switch to them using International Settings (click Options from the Tools menu). In some areas of Visual InterDev, the strings will be in the language that was last installed. Suppose, for example, that you install the German version and then the French version. After you install the French version, you switch the International Settings to German. In some areas, the strings will still be in French.

CAUSE

Visual InterDev does not support the installation of multiple language versions.

RESOLUTION

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

You must uninstall the last version of Visual InterDev that you installed and then reinstall the desired language version. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Uninstall the last version of Visual InterDev.
  2. After you have finished removing the program, open Windows Explorer, and delete all files in the \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VIntDev98 folder.
  3. From the Start menu, click Run, and then type REGEDIT.
  4. In the Registry Editor, delete the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\6.0

  5. Delete the following registry key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\6.0

  6. Reinstall the desired language version.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
