I cant get to use none ASCII characters ( Russian for ex ) when creating a desktop shortcut name for the "primary output" of the installation. The text turns to blanks after the installation. Any ideas?

THANKS!!

My first idea was to play around with the codepage settings but it seems you might be hitting a design limitation if I am reading correctly the MS docs.

Extracted from the above article:

The code pages supported for deployment are: 1252 (Neutral, English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish), 936 (Chinese (Simplified)), 950 (Chinese (Traditional)), 932 (Japanese), and 949 (Korean).
