Hi,
I am using IS 2009 Premier with SP1. I made an installer project (InstallScript MSI type) including English, German and Italian language.
As I try to install on a clean (just-installed) Japanese windows XP, an error 1324 (the path contains invalid characters) occurrs, and then a feature transfer error. I found out this may be caused because the regional language settings is not set by default to the installation language. (This may be a problem since IS 2009 is not able to create a Unicode setup launcher for InstallScript MSI projects)
Then I set it to Japanese. After restart, the installer worked, (however, strange character appeared instead of backslash) but the built in text style was replaced by a monospace font which caused the dialogs to be resized smaller. No matter what type of font I define in design time, it is ignored on runtime.
I tried out German and Italian selection, there were no problem, just in English (U.S.)
Looks like this when I choose English:
On Italian looks ok:
More annoying, that the bitmap is not resized no matter I check in or out SS_REALSIZEIMAGE property. It is simply ignored too.
Does anyone know a useful solution for the dialog text style problem?
Or maybe a better solution for the initial (1324) problem?
Thanks in advance.
