I think I narrowed down the problem I'm seeing.  The code below works from a <Product/> WiX file but not from a merge <Module/> WiX file.

 

<Component Id='AppFRA' Guid='73EF5301-BEEC-40b0-9A38-5AB812C1897D'>

<Registry Id='ReceiveProtocolsFRA' Action='write' Root='HKLM'

       Key="SOFTWARE\Company\Tasks\Histoire de séance d'entraînement de Recieve\Protocols" Name='1'

       Value="Histoire de séance d'entraînement de Recieve" Type='string' />

</Component>

 

I'm setting the Codepage='1252' and the SummaryCodepage='1252'.

 

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='Windows-1252'?>

<Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi'>

   <Module Id='TrainingAppModule' Guid='6E51C103-AF1B-4952-B5AD-958BD96B9EA3' Language='1033' Version='3.0.0.0' Codepage='1252'>

      <Package Id='????????-????-????-????-????????????' Description='Training App Merge Module'

                Comments= 'Training Merge Module'

                Manufacturer='My Company' InstallerVersion='100' Compressed='yes' SummaryCodepage='1252' />

 

Thanks for your help.  It's much appreciated! -Jon

What codepage are you setting for the package?  Please show the exact authoring being used because there are two codepages in an msi package - one for the summary information and one for the package itself.  We need to ensure the proper one is being set.

I'm having some problems with WiX jumbling some of my translated strings (some non English characters) that go into my registry key names and values.  Please let me know if anyone else has seen this before and if there's a fix known.  If I manually edit the MSI after the build to correct the mixed up text then the registry keys / values install the way I want them to be.  The WiX build is changing "Histoire de séance d'entraînement de Recieve" into "Histoire de s?ance d'entra?nement de Recieve" when I view in Orca.  If I manually edit the MSI to correct the string to "Histoire de séance d'entraînement de Recieve" then the value installs correctly.

 

<Registry Id='ReceiveHistoryDEU' Action='createKeyAndRemoveKeyOnUninstall' Root='HKLM'

      Key="SOFTWARE\Garmin\Tasks\Histoire de séance d'entraînement de Recieve\Launch" >

      <Permission User="Administrators" GenericAll="yes"/>

      <Permission User="Everyone" GenericExecute="yes" GenericRead="yes"/>

</Registry>

 

<Registry Id='ReceiveProtocolsFRA' Action='write' Root='HKLM'

      Key='SOFTWARE\Garmin\Tasks\Histoire\Protocols' Name='1'

Value="Histoire de séance d'entraînement de Recieve" Type='string' />

 

Any help would be much appreciated!

Best Regards, -Jon
