Dialog box and special characters
Hi,
I hope someone will be able to help on this case.
By having a '&' character in the INSTALLDIR, Destination folder Dialog box is displaying it as an '_'. As an example Install&Shield is displayed as InstallShield.
Using '&&' in INSTALLDIR helps to display the right '&' but makes INSTALLDIR being wrong.
Any ideas are welcome.

It looks to me like this may be a deficiency in our default dialog settings. If you go to Dialogs > All Dialogs > Destination Folder > (your language here), and select the text area to the left of the change button, you should see that it has a property No Prefix currently set to False. If you change this to true, does it act like you would like? If so, I'll submit this internally so we can fix it for everyone going forward.
