10151 :: nimble install problem - chinese characters

• StLa (orginal) [2023-05-01T18:38:59+02:00] view original

  Hi,

  I installed nim 1.6.12 on Win11 x64 with finish.exe. The User directory is in chinese, like C:/Users/好好.

  Installation went fine. When I tried to compile the first program I got this error:

  "..... C:\Users\����ˮ\nimcache" (something like that).
  Run

  I fixed that by adding the below to nim.cfg

  @if windows:
    @if not release:
      nimcache = r"C:\TEMP\nimcache\d\$projectName"
    @else:
      nimcache = r"C:\TEMP\nimcache\r\$projectName"
    @end
  @end
  Run

  But then I wanted to install something with nimble. I get the following error:

  "oserr.nim(95)            raiseOSError
  Error: unhandled exception: Access denied
  Additional info: C:\Users\��ˮ\.nimble [OSError]"
  Run

  I tried fixing that by changing "nimblepath=" in the nim.cfg, but it did not work.

  It seems to me that the finish.exe has problems with chinese characters.

  How can I fix this error?

  You may need to globally enable UTF-8 support in Windows:

  Language settings -> Administrative language settings -> Change system locale -> Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support

  I'm not certain that will fix the problem you are having but it's a place to start.
