NotePad French via Intune

Jean Jean

Hello,

Here is the script I use to deploy NotePad on computers:

#Path to the .exe installer
$installerPath = “$PsScriptRoot\npp.8.7.5.Installer.x64.exe”

#Start the installation and wait for it to finish
Start-Process -Filepath $installerPath “/L"fr-fr” /S /norestart" -Wait

When I do it in my sandbox, the installation is in French
When I do it on a computer, the installation is in French
When I do it on the same computer but via Intune deployment, the installation is in English

Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?

“/L"fr-fr”

This cmdline param serves for an already installed Notepad++.exe app, not for its installer (your npp.8.7.5.Installer.x64.exe).

Does anyone know how to overcome this problem?

Just import the following reg-file content (or write that “InstallerLanguage”=“1036” there in some other way) into the Registry before running the silent N++ installation:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Notepad++]
"InstallerLanguage"="1036"

@xomx
The reg is already in 1036 and i think this is the language of the installer, i would like the package FR for Notepad usage like Settings > Preferences > General > Localization : Français

If you do, what I told you, then after the silent installation your N++ GUI should be automatically in FR.

(during silent installations, the N++ installer can only look for any previous installation lang used on the comp and then use it to also preset the GUI of the installed N++ app)

Edit: Maybe the problem is in what Intune really sees in that RegKey during your installation. A logging should reveal if this is it.

Edit2: You can also do a “post-installing” action: simply take e.g. the “C:\Program Files\Notepad++\localization\french.xml” and copy it to the user %APPDATA%\Notepad++\nativeLang.xml
