Japanese Characters Fail to Show on .exe

[Meomix]

I changed the system display language and locale to japanese yet the visual novel installation still appeared blochy!
Installation failed because the computer cant recognize the characters.



How do i solve this issue?

lol "failboat"

try changing your comp language to japanese or using applocale.
I use the second option personally. and if you don't mind me asking what are you trying to install? koidehanaku?

How exactly do i change it to japanese? I thought i already did.

And here's what im trying to install.

OK, your OS looks like it's in Japanese and you also have the fonts... did you also set the Language for non-Unicode programs to Japanese? if not, do so. then restart, and try again.

Applocale does this on a per-software basis and it works 99% of the time, but in the case that it doesn't, you need to change the global setting. (control panel / region&language / administrative / 2nd thing there -> set to jap)

in case you have already done this already, or after you do this it still looks weird, the installer is most likely corrupt. or something. xD

Installer shouldn't be corrupted because that will be just gay.
Applocale will will do the trick nicely, use it to create a shortcut for pointing to the installer, then run the shortcut with admin privileges.
