cabwiz.exe problem with special characters in files

S

Steve B.

Hi,

I use a custom inf file and cabwiz.exe to build som cabfiles.

It works fine but with special chars.

For example (french chars):

[Files]
"Comment nous rejoindre à partir de strasbourg.doc",,,0

there is a "à" char ...

When I launch cabwiz, I get this log :

Error: Section [SourceDisksFiles] - file e:\FileRepository\temp\Comment nous
rejoindre à partir de strasbourg.doc not found

And the cab file is not generated (the file actually exists)...

Thanks for any advice.

Steve

Try saving your INF file in unicode format. You can use notepad. Choose
regular unicode (not UTF-8 or big endian)

It did not solve the problem.
Moreover, ASCII is the only encoding of inf file that cabwiz can handle. Any
other encoding I tryed make cabwiz have errors.

I added the file with special char to a VS.Net project, marked as "content".

The log file emitted by VS.Net show exactly the same error. So I suppose
deploying files with special chars is not supported with cabwiz (bug?)...

If you have any other suggestion, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Steve

I was able to build a cab using your file name and your inf file svaed as
unicode. What does not work for you?
YOu can find my test files at

I cannot use your inf file.
Maybe having Winows XP and VS.Net all in french can be an error source...

What is the error you get?
Also, I've added cabwiz, makecab and cabwiz.ddf to the zip. Could you try
again, to eliminate the possible version issues?

I launch the inf file with your cabwiz.exe file, and I get this error :

Error: Required file "E:\downloads\inf_uni\cabwiz.ddf" not found.

I added mine to the directory and I get this error :

Error: Required file "E:\downloads\inf_uni\makecab.exe" not found.

Than I added makecab.exe too and finallty get this error :

Error: Section [SourceDisksFiles] - file e:\FileRepository\temp\Comment nous
rejoindre à partir de strasbourg.doc not found

When I open both cabwiz files, I detect a version mismatch.

Yours is v3.7.0.3083, mine is 3.1.0.9386

I look into another computer with VS.Net in English, the version is
3.1.0.9386 too.

On my dev computer, I installed VS.Net 2003 FR, PPC 2003 SDK, Smartphone
2003 SDK and some emulator images

Thanks,
Steve

unicode. What does not work for you?
YOu can find my test files at
http://www.alexfeinman.com/download.asp?doc=inf_uni.zip

It did not solve the problem.
Moreover, ASCII is the only encoding of inf file that cabwiz can
handle. Any other encoding I tryed make cabwiz have errors.

I added the file with special char to a VS.Net project, marked as
"content".

The log file emitted by VS.Net show exactly the same error. So I
suppose deploying files with special chars is not supported with cabwiz
(bug?)...

If you have any other suggestion, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Steve

Try saving your INF file in unicode format. You can use notepad.
Choose regular unicode (not UTF-8 or big endian)


Hi,

I use a custom inf file and cabwiz.exe to build som cabfiles.

It works fine but with special chars.

For example (french chars):

[Files]
"Comment nous rejoindre à partir de strasbourg.doc",,,0

there is a "à" char ...

When I launch cabwiz, I get this log :

Error: Section [SourceDisksFiles] - file
e:\FileRepository\temp\Comment nous rejoindre à partir de
strasbourg.doc not found

And the cab file is not generated (the file actually exists)...

Thanks for any advice.

Steve

This cabwiz comes with PPC 2003 SDK. So, to make sure I understand
correctly - if you expand contents of my zip somewhere on your machine and
run
cabwiz test.inf
you still get an error?

Steve B. said:
I launch the inf file with your cabwiz.exe file, and I get this error :

Error: Required file "E:\downloads\inf_uni\cabwiz.ddf" not found.

I added mine to the directory and I get this error :

Error: Required file "E:\downloads\inf_uni\makecab.exe" not found.

Than I added makecab.exe too and finallty get this error :

Error: Section [SourceDisksFiles] - file e:\FileRepository\temp\Comment
nous rejoindre à partir de strasbourg.doc not found

When I open both cabwiz files, I detect a version mismatch.

Yours is v3.7.0.3083, mine is 3.1.0.9386

I look into another computer with VS.Net in English, the version is
3.1.0.9386 too.

On my dev computer, I installed VS.Net 2003 FR, PPC 2003 SDK, Smartphone
2003 SDK and some emulator images

Thanks,
Steve

Alex Feinman said:
What is the error you get?
Also, I've added cabwiz, makecab and cabwiz.ddf to the zip. Could you try
again, to eliminate the possible version issues?

Steve B. said:
I cannot use your inf file.
Maybe having Winows XP and VS.Net all in french can be an error

Yes, I get errors.

But as I said before, your archive did not contain neither cabwiz.ddf nor
makecab.exe, so I added mines.
I don't know what are theses files used for.

FYI, my cabwiz.exe is located in "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
..NET 2003\CompactFrameworkSDK\v1.0.5000\bin"

I search within my computer and found Cabwiz.exe in "D:\Program
Files\Windows CE Tools\wce420\POCKET PC 2003\Tools".

This file is in v3.7.0.3083 (same as yours).

I tryed with this files (cabwiz.exe, cabwiz.ddf and makecab.exe), but I get
exactly the same error :

Error: Section [SourceDisksFiles] - file e:\FileRepository\temp\Comment nous
rejoindre à partir de strasbourg.doc not found

Thanks,
Steve
