Bug #272
closedCHiRP won´t start on any of my systems: UTF-8 in path
0%
Description
I´ve got 3 PC:s, one running Win7 and the two others running Win XP SP3.
I´ve tried three different versions of CHiRP, stabel version 0.2.2, daily version 2012-07-30 and daily version 2012-07-27, the same error on every PC.
Installation goes OK, chirpw.exe starts according to TaskManager. A pop-up telling me that Error Reporting is enabled shows, when I hit the OK button in the pop-up winow CHiRP dies. Every time, repeatable.
The file debug.log shows the same errors regardless of hardware or CHiRP version.

The problem is my username in Windows. I can´t use my real name Göran as username because Python can´t handle pathnames with funny letters like åäö.
Please close this issue.
Thank you.

I'm glad you found a workaround, but this is something Chirp should be able to support. I'll leave it open until a dev can test.

This is a known problem which has been haunting us for a long time. It appears that it's actually a problem in Python. Hopefully it's gone once we upgraded to Python 3?
