Unicode Characters in an Inno Script

As far as I can see, its impossible to have a unicode encoded inno script? when i try to open it up it goes all weird. (one character each line), I need to insert a unicode encoded character into the registry.

ARGH

I searched the KB for Inno Script and it turned up nothing so I sent an email off to the owner.
He should be posting here or replying to my email soon. :thumb:

Same on your other thread too. They are speciality questions that I'm sure
he can correctly answer either way.

Thanks.

In the meantime, Im aiming to convert my password into ANSI

but it just spits out 3 ??? characters, my password is 5 different characters... somethings not working right.

How are you doing it?

SkiNLab,

No , using unicode in a script is not possible. Check Inno Setups (Jordan Russell's) Newsgroup Archives or join the Newsgroup.

You can use the code section to put unicode strings in the registry.

Thanks for helping us out Randem :thumb:'s

Randem, I had searched for Unicode before and nothing was returned for any length of time ?

RobDog888,

You probably looked on the wrong website. You might have searched the ********** webite instead of the Inno Setup website.

Yup, that was it. Doh!

OK so i can call a pascal function to input a value into the registry.

I really dont know pascal! do i use a pascal character code function?

ugh Im thinking i could just include a .reg file and silently run it. :-/ not as clean tho I guess.

That would be the easiest, but what about error trapping? If the user doesnt have reg permissions,
although if they dont then they probably wont be able to install anyways?

If it works, use it, I say. :thumb:

You need admin priv to run the install, so i guess that takes care of reg permissions?

As for error trapping there is none.

AND I need the script to compile differently for different clients, so I've had to make several registry files. ugh.

Oh well, I don't have the time to work this one out. Work-around wins again!*
