XBMC don't like accents in install dir - Spack - 2008-10-08

Hi all !

I'm french and I have installed XBMC in the folder C:\Program Files\Multimédia but when I try to run it, XBMC crashes on startup and I get a runtime error dialog...

The dialog is titled "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" and the message is :
Quote:Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\Multimédia\XBMC\XBMX.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

No xbmc.log is created but it seems that XBMC misread the path on startup. If I put XBMC in another folder like in the root of C: or in C:\Program Files, everything works fine ! But once there is an accent in the path... No

It also concerns the installation path.
