PRB: File Names with Extended Characters Not Copied During Setup
This article was previously published under 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
This problem does not occur with the following language versions of
Windows 98:
Portuguese (Brazil)
Danish
Norwegian
The Setupx.dll file for these language versions was modified to correct
this problem before the release of Windows 98 in these languages.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows 98 Standard Edition
- Microsoft OEM Preinstall Kit for Windows XP
