PS: One of those "string" in the last sentence should be "space". <smile/>

The WcaLog already supports passing Unicode data to the function, it's just the format string that is ANSI. For example: WcaLog(LOGMSG_STANDARD, "This is a Unicode string: %ls", wzData); should work just fine. We definitely don't want to change WcaLog to force using a Unicode string. That would just bloat all uses of WcaLog unnecessarily since Unicode strings take twice as much string as ANSI strings (and we have lots of log strings). -----Original Message----- From: Keith Neuse [mailto:kne...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, November 22, 2013 10:17 AM To: wix-devs@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-devs] Unicode support for WcaLog I would like to re-write the WcaLog method and methods that depend on WcaLog in order to support unicode strings. Microsoft has deprecated multi-byte char support for their MFC library and now requires being built with unicode support in Visual Studio 2013. If you want to use MFC in custom actions it creates a lot of head aches to log the strings because now you have to convert unicode strings to Ansi strings. This will result in loss of data if you write text outside of the default code page selected in the OS. Every application today should support unicode strings. I would like to get the okay before making the changes.
