TARGETDIR replaces dot with comma
in our installscript we have the general Information setting:
Product Name = Product 1.0
TARGETDIR =\company\
Everything works fine on most pc's but on some dutch pc's it installs to:
....\company\Product 1,0
A comma instead of a . in between the 1 and the 0.
The dutch do use a , instead of a . as a decimal seperator.
Why this is getting replaced in the instal , I'm not sure, and I realy dont want this, because all our shortcuts and start folder links are not made (probably because a , is not allowed in there)
Anyone have any suggestion to prevent this replacement?

There isn't anything in the InstallScript engine that would perform this type of change on any string. Can you replicate this behavior in a sample project that uses a similar product name?
