Although I have just found some localisation code in some old IIS ui code we... borrowed from a web example. I'd removed all of the loc.blah values and replaced with hardcoded strings, but missed one.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] unhandled exception in light I could believe it was Unicode/ character related but it doesn't explain the intermittent nature of the failure. Are we saying that the wixobj files are sometimes ending up with an invalid character in them due to a codepage mismatch? I'd expect that to cause consistent failures. -----Original Message----- From: Carter Young [mailto:ecyo...@grandecom.net] Sent: 27 June 2014 15:54 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] unhandled exception in light Remove the codepages, and localize using this procedure: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/ui_and_localization/make_installer_localizable.html saving each Localization Value in a different wxl file, then build an MSI(1 for each language value), then Bundle them all using Burn, and allow users to choose a language. WiX is Unicode Aware, therefore you're getting Illegal Unicode Values. Windows Codepages are 8-bit encoding, but Unicode is now,at least on my linux box, UTF-8. UTF-8(WiX) and Windows(CodePages) are not equal, as you have found out.
