It needs to have the native names for 20 odd countries including korea and japan, so no single codepage is going to work. codepage 65001 appears to work but I found the following comment while searching around: "If system default code page (for non-unicode applications) is not 1252, 65001 is not available, which means CJK Windows does not recognize 65001." Is this true? A large chunk of our installed base is in Korea/China/Japan so we can't ship something that isn't compatible with their OS. The other option is a post-install installer application that sets up the registry manually, which is a pain for uninstall.
