great hint - possible but problematic
Authored by: cynikal on Feb 06, '03 04:06:26PM

The problem with delocalizer is that you are modifying your bundle, and when you download upgrade packages, they sometimes expect the virgin bundle, not some trimmed bundle.

Worst case scenario is your upgrade will fail and you'll have to reinstall the full (bloated) software w/ all the languages (well a default install in any case) then run the upgrade program (and delocalize it again if you wish, but you may still have the upgrade problem further down the line).

I know for a fact this is what happens with Micromat's Drive. I had to reinstall it just to upgrade it because it did not think it was installed (and hence coudln't upgrade anything).
