Yes. MSIs support only a single codepage.
Is there a common codepage that works with most languages and Windows
Installer? Such as utf-8 (65001)? I seem to recall reading that
while it may work, string may not work correctly (explicitly here:
http://www.nabble.com/Multi-language-msi-tf2057536.html#a5669170, but
then somewhat contractdicted here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2005/10/05/477577.aspx).
It's not documented to work and doesn't work in some cases.
And more importantly, if I switch to using a common codepage like
utf-8, will my localization strategy (based on including additional
transform streams,
http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/msi/articles/embeddedlang/index.htm)
work?
I don't know. But external transforms (already supported by the WiX
bootstrapper) would work. And then you're in documented territory.
