Certain ;)
Got the installer to run with unicode setup after some changes.

Unfortunately I don't think we can have 1 script for both ansi and
unicode inno setup.... unless PascalScript supports ifdefs and there's a
compiler define for the unicode and one for the ansi version.

Assuming nobody is building on win9x, requiring unicode Inno (instead of
ANSI Inno) shouldn't be a problem, I think.

Will have to have a look at what you mean... been a while since I used Inno.
AFAIU from the docs, Inno Unicode can read UTF8 files without BOM (and
more); currently the Russian translation seems to be encoded using some
ANSI codepage (1251 by heart?).

Meanwhile I have a working setup.exe but it seems to mix 2.6.0 and 2.6.1
directories below Lazarus (I'm using a 2.6.0 bootstrap and a 2.6.1 svn
dir... don't know if that influences things).

Going to stop now... back tomorrow to have another go.
