@Andreas Thanks, I was thinking to do that with regex by myself, but that would be a ugly workaround and only as a last resort.
@Brad: Cool, thanks, I got the errors as well. But did not come up with your solution. One question, though: >> for $installer.out.lines.map(*.encode('latin1').decode('utf16')) -> $line { Why .encode? I would assume the IO::Handle is allready given back latin-1 because of the :enc<"latin-1"> in the Run command.
