Indeed. Unfortunately, people apparently install an English version (because they can get that without paying any license fee), and then create directory names that can't be represented in the ANSI code page (which would then be 1252). Still, on such a system, the target folder for programs should be "Program Files". If people do that, they *should* change the system locale to some Chinese locale, but being non-admin people, they often don't.
