[WiX-users] How to display right-to-left language like Arabic?

[Fan Zhang (UPG)]

Hi,



I want the installer to display right to left languages like Arabic. I created 
a simple wix project with Wix 3.0.5419.0 RTM version and tried three different 
languages: en-us, hu-hu and ar-ar. Both en-us and hu-hu worked as expected. But 
when I ran command as below for ar-ar,



light.exe -ext WixUIExtension -cultures:ar-ar -loc ar-ar.wxl -out Product.msi 
Product.wixobj



I got an error message:



Error 1     A string was provided with characters that are not available in the 
specified database code page '1256'. Either change these characters to ones 
that exist in the database's code page, or update the database's code page by 
modifying one of the following attributes: Product/@Codepage, Module/@Codepage, 
Patch/@Codepage, PatchCreation/@Codepage, or WixLocalization/@Codepage.    
D:\Projects\WixProject1\WixProject1\Product.wxs 64    1      WixProject1



I think ar-ar is one of the supported languages according to page 
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/loc/index.php. Can you please help looking at 
where it goes wrong?



Thanks,
Fan
