Hi, I've been tasked with modifying an existing installer to include localised country names. Unfortunately wix seems to be mishandling the registry entries and replacing every extended character with '?'.
I found a reference to a similar issue in 2005: http://groups.google.co.uk/group/microsoft.public.platformsdk.msi/browse_thread/thread/cf56f3b5a7910005/282eb2f48e7eed79 This had no replies and I haven't found any followup to see if there was a solution. The file looks like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi'> <Fragment Id="workspacemanager"> ... <Registry Root="HKLM" Key="Software\WorkspaceManager\Languages\ca_ES" Type="string" Name="Name" Value="Català " /> <Registry Root="HKLM" Key="Software\WorkspaceManagerLanguages\cs_CZ" Type="string" Name="Name" Value="Ceský" /> <Registry Root="HKLM" Key="Software\TortoiseCVS\Languages\es_ES" Type="string" Name="Name" Value="Español" /> This comes out in the MSI as: Catal? Cesk? Espa?ol Manually editing the MSI in Orca fixes the problem, but is rather labour intensive.. Any clues?
