dotnet internationalization: Is it possible to develop a single installer in .net that can be used for
three languages,say english,Japanese and German or should we develop separate

Hi, it might depend on how complex your setup UI is. If it's very simple you could use the ClickOnce technology and the Framework would display localized UI during installation.
If it's more complex, then you might want to create different installers, also because you might need to resize some setup dialogs based on the language.
This is what we do for Visual Studio
