[eg. C:\Alfresco]</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>move all the files into the newly created folder, run the installer.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>[Suggestion]</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Since there are many potential users in the 2 bytes character code region,&nbsp; </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I would like to suggest Alfresco community that future version of Alfresco</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>installers support 2 byte folder names, and if possible, multi-language support for the installer.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Best Regards,</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 18 Apr 2006 09:44:25 GMT atsushi_koyama 2006-04-18T09:44:25Z Installation Problem for 2 Byte Folder Names https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/installation-problem-for-2-byte-folder-names/m-p/31260#M16147 Hello,I have encountered an error regarding the installation file.[Configuration]::Machine &amp; OSWindows XP Professional SP2 Japanese VersionPentium 3GHz, 1GB Mem:<IMG id="smileyfrustrated" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyfrustrated" src="https://migration33.stage.lithium.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-frustrated.png" alt="Smiley Frustrated" title="Smiley Frustrated" />oftwareAlfresco Version 1.2 Community Network::RegionJapan[Error Description]unable to execute the installation file.
