I am having problems entering a password that will be applied to a
service as part of installation.
I have created a dialog in my installer that, among other things, has a
password field. In my Japanese version of the installer, the password
entered is getting corrupted. If I turn off the password attribute (see
bold entry in WiX source below), so that the password typed is visible,
then it does not get corrupted. I noticed that with the password
attribute turned on, when the cursor enters the password box, the IME
(Input Method Editor) on the desktop is grayed out. This implies that
when the password attribute is turned on, there is some transformation
of my keystrokes that happens differently than when the attribute is
turned off. I would really like to have the password appear as '*' when
it is typed. Is there a way to do this without have the keystrokes
inappropriately translated in a Japanese locale? The password I am
testing with is ASCII only, no Japanese characters, although I will
eventually have to support Japanese characters I suppose.
Here are some excerpts from my source file for candle.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

This might be more appropriately addressed in a Windows Installer forum,
but I have not found one. I went to MSDN forums to solicit a suggestion
for an appropriate forum for this question, but I received no response.
