Rainmeter installer in Arabic
I don't know what happened, suddenly I can't either update into 4.5.7 or installing a new one with older version. Dialog box error showing arabic warning that I don't understand what it said. Did anyone ever face this problem?

Re: Rainmeter installer in Arabic
For some unknown reason this comes up every so often. While the exact cause is unknown, the issue seems to be how NSIS (the software that builds our installer) finds and selects the language to display on the installer. It seems that when it cannot find the correct language code to use, it defaults to Arabic in some cases.
None of the development team has been able to reproduce this problem.
In an attempt to fix the issue, could you try installing the version below? There should be no need to run this installer as an administrator.

Re: Rainmeter installer in Arabic
Just a wild guess. Could it be due to Arabic being first on the list of languages? If you try making some language that would stand before Arabic, it could choose this language instad of Arabic. For example, (Default), since it has a bracket character it will stand on the top of the list. I know it is a havky solution to some uncertain problem, just wanted to share some idea.

Re: Rainmeter installer in Arabic
Yeah, that is basically the approach I took, along with re-ordering some other items. It isn't supposed to work that way, but you never know!Active Colors wrote: ↑December 17th, 2021, 5:49 pm Just a wild guess. Could it be due to Arabic being first on the list of languages?

Re: Rainmeter installer in Arabic
Btw, what is your system language? I'm curious about in what cases the installer is not able to detect the system language and whether it happens only with specific language.pakwo wrote: ↑December 17th, 2021, 3:08 am I don't know what happened, suddenly I can't either update into 4.5.7 or installing a new one with older version.

Re: Rainmeter installer in Arabic
Given your screenshot, it looks like the Arabic issue might be solved.
As to the error you are seeing, it looks like you selected a portable installation but chose a Windows Protected Folder (like "Program Files")...so running the installer "as an admin" fixed that as well.

It seems to happen when you have a wrong path, or empty path, as you can see in the OP's snap.Brian wrote: ↑January 8th, 2022, 5:40 am Given your screenshot, it looks like the Arabic issue might be solved.

I think you should check for the path's validity and accordingly enable or disable the OK button. Well, I mean precautions are better I guess.
