This warning occurs if the following conditions are true:
• The path for the release that InstallShield is building contains
Unicode characters that are not supported by your build
machine’s ANSI code page.
• You configure the release so that your product’s program files
are compressed into .cab files.

from a location whose path does not contain Unicode characters
that are not supported by your build machine’s ANSI code page.
If end users try to launch your installation from a path that contains
Unicode characters that are not supported by the target system’s
ANSI code page, run-time error 1311 occurs when Windows
Installer tries to extract the .cab files.
This error occurs if a string value that you entered for the specified
language contains characters that are not available in that
language’s code page. To resolve this error, use the Text and
Messages view to edit the value of the string so that it uses
characters from the appropriate code page.
Edition: The Premier and Professional editions of InstallShield
enable you to build releases that use UTF-8 encoding for the .msi
database. The UTF-8 encoding supports characters from all
languages simultaneously, enabling you to mix and match, for
example, Japanese and German, or Russian and Polish, both in text
shown to end users and in file names and registry keys. These
mixed languages work correctly regardless of the current language
of the target system.
This error occurs if a part of your project contains characters that
are not available in the code page for one or more target
languages.
To resolve this error, change the data that is described in the error
message so that it uses characters from the appropriate code
page. For example, if error message mentions the Shortcut table,
consider changing the string in the Shortcuts/Folders view.
