Possible Chartset issue UTF8/Ansi

[Akzentianer]

If I initialize this API with this method

DismApi.InitializeEx(DismLogLevel.LogErrorsWarnings, "log.txt");

This is what gets loggt:
log.txt

As far as I can tell this looks like an Ansi <-> Unicode issue.

Kind regards

What version of Windows are you using? The logs on my Windows 10 machine look a lot different

This is on a Windows Server 2008 R2 x64.

Would it be easy for you to try changing something and testing it on your machine? I'm wondering if you changed the CharSet to Auto if it would work.

You can change that and build locally to test it out.
