SABnzbd Forums

I was trying to install the latest version of SABnzbd (0.5.0 RC3) on my friend's computer and once the installation completed it told me to check the log files in my installation directory.  Here are the contents of the log file:
He's running the Korean version of Windows 7 and I'm assuming that has something to do with it as I've installed it just fine on many other computers just fine.  Has anyone else run into this issue?

Thanks in advance for your help.

SABnzbd is not a full Unicode application.
All characters must be encodable in the Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) character set.
This includes the path name of your user profile.
A work-around is to start SABnzbd with a alternative path,
not containing Korean characters.
Change the shortcut to:
SABnzbd.exe -f d:\usenet

That will make all working folders go to the d:\usenet folder.
(Any other Latin-1 compatible path is OK).

We are looking at making SABnzbd fully Unicode compatible, but that may take quite a while .

Well the thing is it was installed to the default location.  The installation path did not contain unicode characters in it.  One thing I've noticed is that on the Korean Windows it uses a ₩ character instead of backslash in the paths.  You can read about this at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backslash

I'm not sure if this is possibly the culprit.  Ideas?

It may be displayed as "₩", but as long as the internal notation is "\"
there should be no problem.
This is really beyond my knowledge.
