---------------------------------------
Summary: NetBeans cannot be launched on Windows if UTF-8 encoding
is enabled in locale and the user profile directory contains non-ASCII
characters.
Key: NETBEANS-5104
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5104
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Bug
Components: platform - Launchers&CLI
Affects Versions: 12.1
Environment: Windows 10 version 2010 with the beta UTF-8 encoding
enabled in the locale settings.
Reporter: Markus Sunela
There seems to be an encoding issue in the Windows platform launcher when the
quite new UTF-8 encoding feature in Windows local settings is being used. At
least Dell has started to enable that feature by default.
When the settings is enabled an the user profile directory contains non-ASCII
characters like ä,ö and ü, an error is displayed:
{quote}An instance of the program cannot access specified user directory. This
is a serious problem that may prevent the program to function properly. Make
sure C:\Users\<garbled username with ä shown as ä. ö as ö and ü as
ü>\.netbeans\12.1 is writable.
{quote}
The error clearly hints that an UTF-8 string is interpreted somewhere as being
ISO8859-1/ANSI encoded. This causes the software fail.
