Problem with international characters in username
Apr 20th, 2005, 10:54pm  
I just got a mail from a Swedish friend who's name begins with the nice Scandinavian letter "Å" (as in Åke). He gets the following error message when try to run a program. The error message is as follows (this is Windows):

Code:
Error: The directory specified in the "-d" option, "C:\Documents and Settings\?ke\Application Data\Processing\build", is either invalid or it could not be expanded.

use: jikes [options] [@files] file.java...
for more help, try -help or -version.


As you can see, his username is Åke, and it seems Processing fails while trying to put temporary files in a subdirectory of his user directory. The question mark in the directory should've been an Å.

His Processing app is in C:\Processing and his Sketchbook pref is set to C:\Proccessing\Build.

Any easy solutions?
