National characters not shown in Modern UI
Hello,

I have successfully created installations, but with one problem: instead of national characters from code page 1250, I'm getting something from the 1252. Both used defined and built-in messages are in Croatian.

Any ideas how to switch to correct encoding?

Thanks!

Ok, I'm confused. The language files state the following.

Croatian LanguageID is 1050, code page is undefined(-),
Polish LanguageID is 1045, code page is 1250,
Romainian LanguageID is 1048, code page is 1250,
Portuguese LanguageID is 2070, code page is 1252.

Do you mean you need to define the croatian code page to 1250?

This code page is only used for MBCS detection, so it doesn't matter whether a code page is defined for Polish, Romainian or Portuguese. You could replace those with a -.

To display Croatian characters, you should set the language for non-Unicode application in the Control Panel to Croatian.

Yes! For future reference: go to Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Advanced and set language. Languages under first tab (Regional Options) are not important.

Thank you very much, Joost!
