Broken String from XML load via DLL

[johnson_ijji]

Hello, From the installsheild script.
I made a certain DLL that can read the xml on FTP.
But when I use it as a path for refer the icon.

It show me a strange string.

Attached file '1dll_load.png' is what I got from installsheild.
Attached file '2dll_load.png' is the test result from visual studio.

I also checked installsheild can reach the file that I intend. (verified it with fiddler2)

Please help me, I spend too much time to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance!

If you want assistance on this issue, you'll probably have to include a lot more information. It's unclear how your DLL interfaces with your InstallShield project, and even what kind of project you're using. That said, one possible thing to look for, especially if you're using InstallScript and UseDLL, make sure you're using the WSTRING type to pass Unicode strings around and the STRING type for ANSI strings. The first image looks a lot like a Unicode interpretation of an ANSI string.
