Thanks for the reply Bob. I actually figured it out by searching the wix-users list. I wasn't specifying a Codepage attribute at all for the Product element. Once I did that, the characters display fine. ________________________________ From: Bob Arnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 27, 2007 9:05 PM To: Tom Busmire (KDDS Group LLC) Cc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WiX support for special characters?

Specifically, I am trying to display a Text control that contains “®” (that may be hard to see, it’s the registered trademark symbol) and “–“ (ndash). First, that's a pretty old version of WiX v2. I'd suggest upgrading to get any bug fixes. Second, I'm not sure those characters are affected, but MSIs have code pages (no Unicode, unfortunately) so you need to make sure that any extended characters use the right code page. For example, current versions of WiX give the following error using the trademark symbol in Package/@Description: fatal error CNDL0031: Invalid character in the given encoding. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
