We have just converted our codebase to unicode. Our installer has a couple of functions it calls in external Dlls that require strings to be passed as argument (BYREF). I thought installshield was Unicode already, but it would appear not... when the string gets to the Dll it contains garbage (everything works great with non unicode)

Any ideas ? (also any other installshield Unicode help/suggestions is very welcome)

thanks.

When declaring prototype of the DLL functiuon in setup.rul, use wstring instead of string as the argument type. This is the only place that you need to explicitly specify wstring.
