Hello, it is not recommended to modify character set settings in CrashRpt solution projects. CrashRpt should be always compiled using the UNICODE character set. In your multi-byte application, you can use A-suffixed functions from CrashRpt API. For example, use crInstallA(), crAddFile2A() and so on. Typically, you use a character-set-independent mapping of a function name, for example crInstall() expands into crInstallA() in a multi-byte program, and into crInstallW() in a wide-char prorgam.
