James, in XP, go to the languages control panel and install Japanese (or maybe it's just "Asian") support for Windows XP and they should display correctly.

Heath, I've been investigating and it's definitely a font issue, because the illegible characters are in the Unicode Katakana (Japanese) block.

As displayed in Windows XP, at the end of your question you have "The string reads,"[NewLine]

"???? [2] ??????????..."

The first four ???? are Unicode 30E6 (Katakana YU, which looks lika a "1") followed by Unicode 30FC, 30B6 and 30FC then "[2]" then more Japanese.

I can see no way of displaying it properly.

James, it looks fine in Firefox 3.0.6 on Windows 7 Beta. Since Vista all locales are installed that are supported by the platform along with supporting fonts. Could be a font issue I can check out.

Heath, I have no idea what those strings say because both Firefox and Opera browsers on XP boxes render them as complete garbage or as a repeated single character.

If anyone is interested, the above text loosely translates to, "The user [2] does not have enough privileges. Do you want to grant the user the required privileges and continue the installation? Selecting No will terminate the installation."
