Windows NSIS Installer license is cut off at 126 Byte

[philkrpp]

• Electron-Builder Version: 24.13.3 but also tested with latest alpha and also older versions

• Node Version: tested in 20.9.0/20.11.1/16

• Electron Version: 31.1.0 and also tried other electron versions
• Electron Type (current, beta, nightly): current

• Target: Windows NSIS

Hello all,

in our latest Windows NSIS installer I recognized that the license page does not contain whole content. It is always cut off when I am building on macOS at 126 Bytes. When I am building on Windows it seems to be fine with length but special characters (like in German äöü) are only displayed in cryptic characters.

macOS Sonoma 14.5 (MacMini i7 and also Mac Studio M2 Pro Max tested)
Windows 11 Pro 23H2 22631.3810 x86

Does anyone faces same issue?

Here is simple code for reproduction:

Hello,
have you found a solution?

Unfortunately not yet. My workaround is to build macOS on macOS and Windows on Windows. I replaced all special characters like "Ä" to "Ae" and build the new version...

@philkrpp For Windows Build, If we change license file's encode to utf-8 with bom, it works well.
