Sounds like your wxs file is not saved in UTF-8 or some other encoding that allows German characters. Also, you have to have <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-u" ?> at the top of your XML file.

I saved <UI> in a separate fragment file FragmentUI.wxs and referenced it by <FragmentRef Id="FragmentUI" /> While compiling I always get the error: C:\.......\FragmentUI.wxs(629) : error CNDL0104 : Not a valid source file; detail: Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 629, position 74. Here is for example an 'ä' in the text. My product has Language="1031", package has Languages="1031", Codepage="1252", light.exe has cultures en-us. If my <UI> section is in the main wxs file, it will be compiled without any error using the same settings. How should I use a separate ui-fragment including german characters?
