I would suggest raising a bug for each of these with a sample file if you can.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Problems with Heat and COM (and subsequently Candleand Light) Thank you for your reply. I was using RC2, but when I ran into problems I've downloaded the wix3-binaries.zip from http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/3.0.5315.0/ and tried to use them. It didn't help :( But I still have RC2 installed in Program Files... I hope this is not a problem. 3) For the problem with 1252 codepage I forgot to include example: The source WXS has (saved in utf-8): "Prurez zadaný císelne" I've converted it to use only 1252 codepage characters (saved in utf-8): "Prurez zadaný císelne", but it still throws the error: Legacy.wxs(523) : error LGHT0311 : A string was provided which do esn't match the specified database codepage '1252'. Either set your database cod epage to match these characters, or change these characters to ones that exist i n the database's codepage.
