I'm using WiX version 2.0.3929.0 for my project's installer. Does
anyone know if WiX has support for special/extended characters?
Specifically, I am trying to display a Text control that contains "®"
(that may be hard to see, it's the registered trademark symbol) and
"--" (ndash).
First, that's a pretty old version of WiX v2. I'd suggest upgrading to
get any bug fixes.
Second, I'm not sure those characters are affected, but MSIs have code
pages (no Unicode, unfortunately) so you need to make sure that any
extended characters use the right code page. For example, current
versions of WiX give the following error using the trademark symbol in
Package/@Description:
fatal error CNDL0031: Invalid character in the given encoding.
