reassign to [e-mail]. This might be a dup of 125106, or it may share
some similarity.

This is not a duplicate of bug 125106, although the underlying code is broken in
pretty much the same way.  I thought we already had this one, but I can't find
it. (bug 125104 is similar, but not quite).

Updates:
This bug is not reproducible with branch build 20020503 on all support 
localized Windows platforms.

Comment 5

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

per your comment is this fixed now (hard to believe, looking at the code)? Is it
a duplicate of bug 67027?

Comment 6

[Rui Xu]

No, I think it is due to bug 125106 was checked in.

This bug and bug 125106 might be caused by a same reason, i.e. installer 
couldn't handle double-byte locale charset in general.

Bug 67027, bug 143514, etc might be caused by the different reasons:
1. Installer cannot handle some particular chars which are in both double-byte 
and high-ascii code page, i.e. particular code points in some locale charset.
2. Installer cannot handle some unicode chars which are not included in locale 
charset (only on NT based Windows), i.e. need to improve the current product to 
a full unicode support product, (e.g. use WAPI, unicode compile options, etc.).
