File Names with Extended Characters Not Copied During SetupID: Q192272
|
Installing software that uses certain non-English extended characters in the file or folder names may result in the files not being copied or the folders not being created. This problem may occur when you install software that uses the Windows 98 .inf file driven Setup functions provided by Setupx.dll.
There are two problems in Setupx.dll which, in combination, may cause
files with whose names contain extended characters to be copied to
temporary file names during Setup, and then deleted before they can be
renamed to their final names (which would otherwise occur during the next
Windows startup).
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 98.
This problem occurs only for a certain subset of extended characters.
These characters are those for which the character codes for the MS-DOS
(OEM) code page and the Windows (ANSI) code page do not match.
This problem is known to occur with the following language versions of
Windows 98:
English
Dutch
French
German
Italian
Spanish
Swedish
Brazilian Portuguese
Danish
Norwegian
