Language selection dialog box - not displayed every time

I checked the Language selection dialog box in the project properties.
The box is displayed when the installer is started for the first time.
From the second start it is no longer displayed.
How can I set it up so that the box is displayed every time?

This topic applies to InstallAware Multi Platform as well.

In maintenance mode, your language has already been chosen before. It must be retained for installed integrity to be preserved, as you may have already installed language-specific content, which could be misplaced/damaged if you were to permit a language change at that time.

However, upon uninstallation, you would be able to reselect a new language again.

You could, of course, manually change the language to anything you like using the $LANGUAGE$ pre-defined variable:

And you could, again, ship your own language selector dialog per the built-in Multi Lingual Setups sample project.

However in this scenario, it is your responsibility to ensure none of your setup actions would be compromising installation integrity.
