You have to use an encoding that supports German special characters (e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
To make German special characters readable within an installer (GUI etc) you have to set Codepage and Language attributes of your <Product ...> tag to the according values. For German (Germany) for that would be <Product ... Codepage="iso-8859-1" Language="1031" ...> or <Product ... Codepage=" windows-1252" Language="1031" ...> Language can be localized using a .wxl file, like <WixLocalization Culture=" de-DE" ...> ... <String Id="ProductLanguage">1031</String> </WixLocalization> <Product ... Codepage="windows-1252" Language="!(loc.ProductLanguage)" ...> You can find detailed information in the WiX 2 tutorial at Paragraph 2.4 (http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson2.php) and in MSDN (search for Codepages) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
