We are using the full german version since years. But since we are working in international shipping industry business, english is not problem for our staff. And for better participating in that community forum the original english setting and menu terms would be helpful.

Is it possible to simply update our full german v4.73 network installation with the english v4.80 setup?

We use German and English in parallel.

1. Install the English version in a separate directory on the network.

2. Specify the same folder for the user directory when starting for the first Start.

3. Possibly copy the files "pegasus.ini", "PMGATE.SYS", "Synonym.mer".

4. Possibly adapt/copy the "viewer.pm".

The English version is always there, Joerg, no need to install another one: Search for pegasus.ini in Pegasus Mail's \programs\ subdirectory and insert a semicolon in front of the language setting, ie. change "Set Language=DE" to ";Set Language=DE" (or remove this line completely). Afterwards you can launch Pegasus Mail with a proper commandline opion, it's winpm-32.exe -X EN (or no -X switch at all) for English and winpm-32.exe -X DE for German.

And, BTW: 4.8 has a serious issue with BearHtml, at least in preview mode (can't test myself since my notebooks all have touchpads and just do nothing with their wheel emulation): Using the scroll wheel on HTML messages crashes Pegasus Mail. Not so with IERenderer, but IER doesn't currently detect the German version properly, IER-fix is already applied but not yet released.

Maybe it helps: I've just noticed that if you start the German version of 4.8 with "winpm-32.exe -X EN" in English, IERenderer is loaded, but not in German!

Now with IER-Update 2.6.5.10 the German Pegasus 4.8 works fine with IERenderer! Thanks!

To test a new Pegasus 4.8 again, I did a fresh installation again:
In order to get the German version to work with IERenderer, it is sufficient to rename the file "IERenderer.fff" to "IERenderer.fde"!

It appears to be required the I have to repeat myself over and over again: Don't fiddle with the files unless on special advice! IER's setup provides a language selector which you should use for installing additional language versions in a proper way!

If your reply was supposed to target German users please post it to the German forum or at least mention that this is only applicable to users having the German language module (= version) installed!

Thanks guys for all the hints.

I will give the simple command line option a try.

Nevertheless my question remains ... is it possible to install the english 4.80 version over the german 4.7x to keep all settings but to switch finally the language to english, without the option switching back to german, e.g. by command line option?

So what exactly do you want to achieve? Do you want to prevent users from switching back to German? There's no way to disable this, they will always be able to do so via command line.

Just one more note about this: Switching back to German after doing what you're suggesting wouldn't be a good idea since the installer removes files coming with 4.73 so it might lead to unpredictable behaviour.
