InstallAware 16 ignores swedish characters

Postby danielb » Thu Jul 11, 2013 3:26 am

When I open a project created in InstallAware 9 in InstallAware 16 all non-english characters are ignored in the editor. By example the text "Sätt rättigheter för" is viewed as "Stt rttigheter fr". It seems like the encoding in the mia-files has been changed. If I correct the example above the text is now saved as "Sätt rättigheter för" in the mia-file.
Best regards,

Dear Daniel,

Could you please post a very minimal project to demonstrate your issue?

I have just tried with initializing a custom variable as "Sätt rättigheter för" and I haven't found the same as you.
The variable is correctly displayed with a MessageBox or Dialog.

IA 16 full supports UNICODE and consequently, it doesn't use any kind of encoding.

By the way,
- did you use the "Unicode Upgrade Tool" to migrate setup projects from older InstallAware versions to Unicode versions of InstallAware?
