This article was previously published under Q147892

SYMPTOMS

By default, when you create a custom AppWizard using the Standard AppWizard Steps in the Custom AppWizard, the German, English, Spanish, French, Italian language support is selected. If you leave the default, five .rc files will be generated (loc_XXX.rc) for each language along with several sets of RTF files. However, all of these files will be in Italian instead of their respective languages.

As a result of selecting more than one language in the list box in Custom AppWizard, all resource files will be created in the bottom-most selected language.

RESOLUTION

Select only one language in the list box in Step 2 of the Custom AppWizard. If more than one language is needed, run AppWizard multiple times, once for each language.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was fixed in Visual C++ version 5.0.
