initial .wxs uses encoding='windows-1252'

I noticed that this encoding was used instead of UTF-8. The consequence of not using UTF-8 is that wix convert (wix3 -> wix4) will fail silently.

Workaround is to just change it to encoding='utf-8'. Interestingly enough wix convert ends up removing the xml tag all together.

Does changing to utf-8 fail with wix3?

@volks73 wix3/cargo-wix appears to work with utf-8
