	Dear list members,
	I have run into a small problem when writing a package file. WSH complains of invalid characters in the file (see below). I am guessing that it doesn't like the danish character in the remove command. Any way to work around this?
	Regards,
	Tor Sorensen

	<package id="office2007" name="Microsoft Office 2007 System" revision="432" reboot="false" priority="0">
	    <check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="2007 Microsoft Office system" />
	    <remove cmd='"C:\\Programmer\\Fælles filer\\Microsoft Shared\\OFFICE12\\Office Setup Controller\\setup.exe" /uninstall PROHYBRIDR /dll OSETUP.DLL'>
	    </remove>
	</package>

Hi, I have encountered this as well. It happens when you save the file with "nordic" characters as ANSI instead of unicode. Please try to save it as unicode instead, and the error essages should disappear.
 
Also please note that it is not necessary to escape \, as you have done. And your script would be a little more portable if you use the system variable %CommonProgramFiles% instead of c:\programmer\fælles filer\ :)
