Re: Need help with CABWIZ

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Actually the problem is that it doesn't handle its own language's characters at all, either in ANSI or in Unicode. Microsoft has been selling MS-DOS and Windows systems using ANSI code page 932 (Shift-JIS) for more than 20 years, they've been selling Windows CE and Windows Mobile using Unicode which includes Japanese characters, and now they're selling the Japanese version of Visual Studio 2005 which can't cope with their operating systems.

wow, good find!

i didn't know CABWIZ couldn't handle non-ANSI characters in registry keys or value names.

that's pretty lame...

OK I need help typing too, but mostly I need help with CABWIZ for the reason described. I don't care about the quotation marks, I just need the key names to work. By the way I experimented with deleting the quotation marks too but the result still just damaged the device's registry.
