One more Unicode question

Solved!
Go to solution

So here's the story so far:

 

By enabling Unicode through the LabVIEW.ini (UseUnicode=true), I've been able to develop quite a nice translation package.  Furthermore, when I build an executable and run it, it works also.  But when I deploy it on another computer - either by running it from the release folder or actually installing it with an installer - it displays garbage.  Not even pseudo-Chinese garbage - just squares that I think means unprintable characters.

 

Anyone know how to work around this issue?  I'll be actively trying stuff and letting you know my progress.

 

Oh, dev machine is Win7 and target is WinXP.

Do you have the proper languages enabled on the XP machine?  I *think* they're disabled by default, but I haven't touched XP in quite awhile.

You know, I was thinking the same thing when I got in this morning.  Only problem is - I can't find anyone who has an install disc!!!  Thanks for confirming my suspicions.

Confirmed.  That was the issue.
