Build error -6118 after migrating from IS 10.5 to IS 2009
Hi,
I am working on a InstallScript MSI project.
The frist thing I did is to convert it to IS2009 (SP1) from IS10.5. There was no error at conversion, but when I tried to build, I got the following error:
... Building dialog 15002 Building dialog 15005 Built 16 dialogs into resource file: _ISUser1033.rc Building RES file: _ISUser1033.res D:\path\to\file\_ISUser1033.rc (73): error RC2103 : unexpected end of file in string literal
ISDEV : error -6118: The Resource compiler failed to build the RES file "D:\path\to\file\_ISUser1033.res" required to link the DLL. Resolving strings... Language English (United States) built Embedding manifest SetupExe.Invoker.manifest into setup.exe Building CAB files... ...
I included the empty lines to reflect the exact output in the building process. By searching and reading the forum posts, I have tried to open the .rc file and looked at the line (73), it's the welcome dialog and the string is normal (not too long, no '..', or anything suspective as I can see). Following is the part of the dialog (line 73 is bolded😞

Peter... doesn't look like you have gotten any reply on this problem ?
I got the same or similar deal on IS 2009 premier. When I stage a dialog (like the welcome maintenance dialog for editing the layout, save the project, try a build, I get:
_ISUser1033.rc (18): error RC2103 : unexpected end of file in string literal
I "think" that this might be related to doing a RC compile on English OS and not having the locale set properly, but not sure.
Have you figured this out at all ? I have to get this to work since I've edited the English SdWelcomeMaint dialog and built it fine, but need to get the Japanese version of the same dialog edited as well.
