Localization not working.

Hi,

I am trying to build an installer with localization support.

I have all my strings defined in an .nsh file something like

LangString WELCOMETEXT ${LANG_GERMAN} `Dieses Installationsprgramm führt ....`


In the main NSI I set the welcome text as follws -


!define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT WIWELCOMETEXT
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME

The above WELCOMETEXT of mine doesnt get shown correctly when I try running the installer in German(führt displayed incorrectly in this case). I also get similar garbled characters for all Non-ASCII characters (in all languages).

All my nsh/nsi files are in UTF-8 and I can see the characters correctly when I open these files in notepad.


Can you please tell me what I might be missing?

Note: I use NSIS 2.45

Thanks
SB
