Hi,

My requirement is to read in a TCHAR pointer returned by a c++ dll.
Prototype in c++
__declspec(dllexport) TCHAR * Get_string();

Problem started after upgrading to 2012. Earlier with installshield 2010 the following worked fine.

prototype cdecl POINTER _mydll.Get_string();

POINTER Group;
STRING svGroup;

Group=_mydll.Get_string();
Sprintf(svGroup,"%s",Group);

Later use the svGroup to process further.

But now after upgrade the svGroup is getting garbage values.

How should I handle this?

Thanks in advance
Maddy

I've not needed to do this, so I would recommend contacting Flexera about such an upgrade issue. Especially since it was working before.

I think InstallScript now supports unicode/double byte characters, maybe the problem is related to this.
