© -> Â© - Encoding problem?

Hi,
When I specify a © character in my version info, the NSIS compiler seems to have an encoding issue and is prepending Â to the front of it.

I saw that another NSIS user has previously posted this: "I set the encoding for the NSI to ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8 and all is well." (http://forums.winamp.com/showpost.ph...81&postcount=3)

Problem is, I have no clue how to specify to the NSIS compiler to use ISO-8859-1

What nsis version are you using?

If you are using NSIS 2.x then store the .nsi in the same encoding as the system codepage. For NSIS 3 you should store the file as UTF8 with signature/BOM or UTF16LE-BOM and compile with "Unicode True".

Ok thank you, I got it working now. Had to chance the encoding of the script to ISO-8859-1 -- I thought the user I quoted above was doing something tricky with the NSIS compiler
