I have 2 folders:
1. Ant Movie Catalog with program MovieCatalog.exe
it has a language file english.lng
2. Ant Software Catalog with program SoftwareCatalog.exe
it has a language file EnglishProgram.lng
This all worked with the right language file opening.
Now the same language file is opening for either movie or Software.
If i set the movie file to open with english.lng and then close it and open Software catalog it also opens with english.lng
and if i set software catalog to open with EnglishProgram.lng then close anf open Movie Catalog it opens with the EnglishProgram.lng
This might have started happening with the update to version 4.2.0.2
Where is the name of the language file stored?

Settings are stored in prefs.xml
If you used the automatic installation, that file is put in ProgramData no mattter where the program is installed.
If you wish to have multiple installs, you should use the portable version (and in case UAC is active, give write-permission to the folder of the program where you extracted the archive), that one stores the prefs in its own folder.

There is an alternative: you can open the program with an extra parameter, in the shortcut properties you can specify which xml file you want to use as prefs file.
For example:
"c:\program files\ant movie catalog\ant movie.exe" /prefs "c:\ProgramData\ant movie catalog\prefs2.xml"
