Sadly, it's not unusual at all to see a Windows app crash and burn when paths contain non-ASCII characters. It's just what it is to non-English computer users.

I've couldn't build some files in Android Studio on windows, because path to gradle contained non-english characters. It's a common problem for a lot of linux-based tools. Sometimes even spaces in directory names are enough to break those tools.
