InstallAware

I have several old projects that use the actual copyright symbol © (Alt+0169) in some project properties and one setup program that contains the symbol in a file name. When a project is converted to Unicode this symbol (may be others) does not convert properly, but shows some other characters, so you need to manually retype the symbol. If it is in a file name, the file will be found on build, but the installation will fail.

This is not a problem for me any longer because my projects have all now been converted and the corrections have been manually made.

I found this issue a while ago, but came up with a solution to get my job done and didn't report it. Sorry about that.

Dear Steve,

unfortunately, it can happen what you are reporting.

This usually occurs when converting to Unicode an ANSI string, that contains characters that are part of the extended ASCII table (... as in your case with the copyright symbol).

Regards
