really no unicode ?

I live in Latvia and we here often have computers where the Windows setting "Language for non-Unicode programs" may be Latvian or Russian (depends on the user). That is why I usually make my software with Unicode support to be sure it will work correctly.
So I made a setup package with NSIS and selected Latvian language. Everything is fine on a Latvian PC but on a PC with Russian codepage I see many unrecognizable simbols in my setup package (because I did not include English language 😁 ).

It is a pity that such a complicated and great install system does not have Unicode support! 🙁

If developers do not plan to add Unicode support for some time then maybe someone could suggest other freeware installer which supports custom dialog translations and Unicode?

Thanks.

P.S. Hmmm... maybe I should get the source and try to "Unicodize" it? If only it will not be really hard task....

Now there is a Unicode version of NSIS. Please look for the Unicode thread in the NSIS discussion. It explains how to download and test this version of NSIS.
