Re: Wrong encoding when installing programme

Thank you Paul!

Yes, that was exactly the cause of the problem. I'm using your instructions
for writing Russian, but on the main computer I have "Swedish" in that
place, while for some reason "Russian" was entered on the laptop. When I
changed to "Swedish", everything worked OK.

Great help!

What can have caused this, and what can I do to get the correct
characters?

Look at your Windows setting fro System Code Page (System Locale) -
it's in Control Panel/Regional Options - "Advanced" tab -
"Language for non-Unicode programs" -

probably you have "Russian" or another Cyrillic language there.
