hings. When you generate the Setup.Lst file, the Spanish VB version sets the PrivateGroup0 variable to VERDADERO ('True' in Spanish) or FALSO ('False' in Spanish). What happens when you try to install the application in the English version of Windows? Setup.EXE expects a Boolean value of TRUE or FALSE but Setup.LST has 'Verdadero' or 'Falso'.

So Setup.Exe cannot recognize the value and generates an error. The solution for Spanish users is to edit the Setup.Lst file and change the value of PrivateGroup0 variable to the English equivalents. If it says 'Verdadero' use True. If it says 'Falso' use False.

Example:
[IconGroups] Group0=ModuloCComp PrivateGroup0=Verdadero
should be changed to
[IconGroups] Group0=ModuloCComp PrivateGroup0=True.

That's it. I hope this information will be useful for those of you who use the Spanish version of VB.
