Problem with &

Hi

There is a problem with displaying & in the installer dialogs. I have & in my ProductName and in some dialogs it is displayed OK, and in some I must use &&. That is OK. But in some dialogs the & or && does not help - there is no & displayed, only nothing or _ .

Thank for your help.

Hi,

This happens because the "&" character is used to define hotkeys for the controls on the dialogs. The solution is to replace [ProductName] in the text with the name of your product and use two & characters ("&&") where you encounter this behavior.
But in some dialogs the & or && does not help - there is no & displayed, only nothing or _ .
Can you please give more details about this? Which dialogs do not accept the "&&" solution?

Regards,
