→Re-package the new installer
This step applies to all localisations that aren't held in CVS.
The basic plan of action is to take the original (en-US) installer and replace its en-US parts with your newly-localised ab-CD parts. However, you must '''also''' tell the installer to use these ab-CD parts, not the en-US ones. Additionally, you should localise the installer itself. <p>All the installers use <tt>config.ini</tt> and <tt>install.ini</tt>. [http://www.tyndall.org.uk/create-installer.html Building a Mozilla Suite Localised Installer] gives an account of the process involvedin updating these two files when creating a new installer. It is based on using <tt>mozip</tt>, but is applicable to all installers that use <tt>config.ini/install.ini</tt>.</p>
<p class="note"> when testing a 7z-based installer, use a faster compression ratio rather than one geared for smaller installer files. Only when you have checked that the installer works correctly should you recompress for minimum size.</p>
