NSIS 3.08 Can't compile NSIS with Chinese annotations

NSIS 3.08 Compile NSIS Script with Chinese annotations,

I have tried some Chinese comment text can be compiled, some Chinese comments can not be compiled, for example: "步"

The first line can be compiled, the second line will report an error.

All script:

code:


# 使用 Modern 风格界面 那种下一

# 步

Name "test"

Processing script file: "D:\Installation\test.nsi" (ACP)
Bad text encoding: D:\Installation\test.nsi:2
Error in script "D:\Installation\test.nsi" on line 2 -- aborting creation process

Save .nsi file as UTF-8 with BOM or UTF-16 with BOM (Unicode in Notepad).

The compiler reads and validates each line before processing comments. This is perhaps a design flaw but it is tricky to fix.

thank you. I saved it in Notepad as UTF-8 with BOM and compiled it successfully.
It's a weird thing.

is it even possible?

Yes, you can try to save the above three lines of script as utf-8 format, compile with NSIS 3.08, it will report an error.

In addition, I can compile the same script with nsis-2.46.5-unicode.
