Error -7184 when Merging Modules
I've ported a project from IS2010 to IS2014 where code was developed using VS2008. I had the port working, but then installed VS2010 SP1. Now, I get error -7184 when merging modules:
Merging modules...

ISDEV : error -7184: The FileName column of the File table includes characters that are not available on code page 1252: "21BA~1|?"
(about 12 lines of this)
I tried changing the redistributables to eliminate some older modules that will not be needed, but I still get the error, but with a different merge module, for example:
Merging modules...

The various msm files in my local IS2014 modules folder are the same as in the Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Modules folder. It seems that perhaps something in VS2010 SP1 has incompatible msm files?

I needed to configure the build to use UTF=8 on the build tab for the release.
