[vlc-devel] [PATCH] writes chosen language of installer into vlcrc...

[Antoine Cellerier]

I'm not sure that editing the vlcrc file from the installer is a good
idea. + it'll only edit vlcrc files from the current user so the
default won't be set for other accounts.

He're what I'd consider to be a better solution (it requires changes to
the VLC source code):
Write configuration choices made at install time in a "default settings"
file in the VLC installation directory. When VLC starts, if it can't
find the user's config then load the default settings, else just don't
take them into account.
