Silent install with MKS_PRODUCT_LANGUAGE set to english, but different date/time format not possible

Silent install with MKS_PRODUCT_LANGUAGE set to english, but different date/time format not possible

1. Describe your environment: What is your industry? What is your role in your organization? Describe your stakeholders.
We are doing power supplies for industry and medicine products.

The company is international, but the development is in germany.

I am user and admin.


2. What product and version are you currently running?
Windchill RV&S 13.0.0.2

3. Describe the problem you are trying to solve. Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.
We want to do a remote/silent install of the client for all users via
mksclient.exe -f mksclient.properties

The GUI language should be set to english, but format (date, time) should be set to german.

This is described in the help (MKS_PRODUCT_LANGUAGE=ende), but it does not work. Only language is set to english.

PTC support confirmed that this is actually not possible.


4. What is the use case for your organization?
Avoid that we manually have to change the IntegrityClient.lax after the installation for EVERY client.

5. What business value would your suggestion represent for your organization?
Saving time for users and admins after every client install/update
