error while using visual studio InstallShield

I'm getting error while using InstallShield to create a Windows Form application setup.

When I run the build I get the error

"The DefaultDir column of the Directory table includes characters that are not available on code page 1252"

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Base on @user1064248 answer,

Enable "Build UTF-8 Database" in "Releases" > (YourReleaseName) > "Build"-Tab

It worked in my side.

I add image for more detail step. I share for whom concerned.

You are using characters in your default install location path name that are not supported in the default codepage 1252 your installation release is build.

Enable "Build UTF-8 Database" in "Releases" > (YourReleaseName) > "Build"-Tab.

OR maybe better avoid using non latin letters in windows file paths.
