Hi All,

Flex, AIR(Desktop) Project.

**PROBLEM Scenario:**

My Application needs a path from Windows registry, So I am launching a .cmd file using Native Process API.  
As a result I get a text file with the path.

So, everything works fine(reading/writing), but if the path contains different languages like Korean, Chinese then the **READING OPERATION FAILS only when I install the application**. It works fine while debugging.  
**(By failing I mean its not getting the characters, its printing some garbage values.)**

I am using **readMultibyte & writeMultibyte** APIs, and I am assiging the character set dynamically as per the OS language. (Which is Enslish in current scenario)

**FINDING:**

I installed Windows with Korean Language on a system, so now if I build the .exe on this machine then it works fine. So, i guess its not able to get the Korean Character set from the English OS, thats why it failed in earlier case.

**Is there any way to include different character sets in a Flex project?**

Regards,
