From: Selva Nair <selva.n...@gmail.com>

- We assume that all text passed to the management interface
  and written to log file are in Unicode (UTF-8). This is broken by
  the use of the ANSI version of FormatMessage() for Windows error
  messages. Fix by using FormatMessageW() and converting the UTF-16
  result to UTF-8.

v2: assign return value of FormatMessageW() to DWORD, not int
