Chinese Language not getting displayed in the Install dialogs

I'm using InstallScript Project on InstallShild 2010. I added Chinese(PRC) under GeneralInformation tab and Releases tab. I could see the added strings in the StringEditor also. But when i try to install on any machine, i could see only ??? (question marks instead of Chinese language).

when i export the strings to UNICODE, i could see chinese language when i open it in Notepad.

Can you please help in getting them on the installers.

InstallScript in InstallShield 2011 and later use Unicode, so should handle this much more cleanly. Prior to that InstallScript projects used ANSI code pages, so are restricted to the language settings of the target machine.

Thanks MichaelU.
Do we have any workaround to handle this in IS 2010 itself. I'll think of upgrading to IS 2011 after the current release.

Can you run this on machines set to Chinese? That's the only workaround I know. (And it's not commonly a big problem for Chinese users to run a Chinese machine.)
