Help with Windows CE Strings

[yukabron]

Hi,
Does anybody know how to change the Windows CE strings?
Right now, im having a lot of trouble with the installation of an
application, because my PPC is on Spanish. The defult Windows CE
String for %CE1% on english language PPCs is Program Files\, but on
the Spanish version is Archivos de Programa\ , and this is causing my
application to crash due to not finding any DB files. Does anybody
know how to change the string for "%CE1%"?

I don't think you can, but you could certainly hard-code a specific string,
if that's what you want. What *do* you want it to be? Isn't that string
correct for the Spanish OS?

I think you want to get the localized name from your app (by getting a
SpaecialForlderName) rather than trying to force the device to conform to
your app.

Well.. what i did so far was hard coded the installation paths for the
CABs of the application. it worked just well. Then, when i try to open
the app, it says it cant find the DB files. The application search for
those files on Archivos de Programa\XXX while the files are on Program
Files\XXX. If i dont hard code the installation paths on those cabs,
the application doesnt even starts, because it was meant to run over
English language Windows CE. I have no access to the code of the
application, so my last chance was to change the System String of
%CE1%. If you know another way to make this app run, ill really
appreciate the help.
