Hello,
how to create a setup ( MSI file ) with a component, which includes a file with a chinese filename?
The build stops with -6103.
German system with additional language support.
English IS 10.5,
Data Languages: Chinese (Simplified)
UI: Chinese (Simplified)
Default Language: Chinese (Simplified)
Do chinese MSIs only use ASCII filenames?
The next problem could be, to get this file installed.
Thanks in advance!
Johannes

It looks like InstallShield is unable to locate the source file. The file name or the path may include characters that InstallShield can't handle, or the full path to the file may be too long. How do you add this file to your project?

Hello Stefan, thanks,
the file is added in the Setup Design in the component by "Add...".
The file gets for each unknown character an "?".
The path is used in several setups and is about 20 characters long. That couldn't be the problem.
IT seams to be, that the IS tool doesn't handle UNICODE characters in all places.
The Windows Installer himself too ( in some cases yes and some don't). I was told, that this problem is caused by the ( I call it ) 9X structur, which needs a codepage.
How do chinese developers distribute their files?
Is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance!
