Markus Sunela commented on NETBEANS-5104:
-----------------------------------------
Yes, the --user-dir commandline override and friends do work nicely. But of
course, it would be nice, if this would "just work", as it does, when the
system encoding is ISO8859-15: in this case the NetBeans launcher handles the
non-ASCII characters just fine. It is just the UTF-8 system encoding wrecking
havoc.
> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
