Gunnar,

Yes, in this case the user seems to have Unicode characters in his CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS specification. As a result, Windows returns question mark (?) characters in place of the Unicode characters.

Friedrich,

yes, but what's the solution to this issue ? It's a fresh Xp installation out of the box. I need access to this folder, but for obvious reasons (??????) ::CreateFolder fails when using this ID.

Gunnar,

Aha, okay. The solution to this non-SetupBuilder issue is to correct the Windows configuration:

- Open "Regional and Language Options" via Start > Settings > Control Panel.
- In the "Advanced" tab select "Russian" for "Language for non-Unicode programs".

This "should" fix it :)

Does this help?
