Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 54839
Installation breakdowns while install directory-path contains Chinese Characters
Last modified: 2013-07-30 02:19:35 UTC
Hi,I am a Chinese user,and I think your product(v1.9.125) has a little bug on Chinese characters.I put the install directory in a path containing CHN chars (e.g. "c:\documents and settings\...\æ¡Œé¢\"),after the install sheild generated the installing scripts, an error message was raised saying "....openofficeorg1.cab cannot be found.".The file was indeed existed.But when I moved the install directory to a non-CHN-Char path(e.g. c:\) the install sheild went on well. I made a screenshot but couldnot find place to post it.If you cannot represent the error state,please tell me how to post the pic to you.
Created attachment 29693 [details] the screenshot of the problem.
of @ is: Is there something we can do in this case?
IS -> bacon_1982: Did you use the correct "Regional and language settings in the control panel"? We tested this successfully after changing this settings.
I've checked all the region-related settings and all the options are swithed to simplified Chinese, and I'm afraid that I've never changed these settings.
I can confirm his problem. bacon_1982, if you set [Regional and Language Option]=>Advance=>[Language for non-Unicode programs] to the Chinese you're using, then it should work. On Windows XP, I figure that the program before the actual installer load is non-unicode (I don't know how to call that program, but then, it's the "loader" and the first 3 screens). And the installer itself is. Please take a look at the screenshots I made for 2.0rc2. I think we should try to deal with this before the release of 2.0 final.

Screenshot 1-3 are the program before the actual installer. And screenshot 4 is the installer itself. Note that screenshot 1-3 doesn't show Chinese correctly, and screenshot 4 does. All show Chinese correct if I change that [Language for non-Unicode programs] to Traditional Chinese instead of English. I'm sure that bacon1982's problem is also a unicode problem. (I don't know if I should open a new issue for the problems illustrated in my 4 screenshots, since it looks like it's related problem to this one.)
Hi,wong I've confirmed my region settings for unicode parsing language and made a capture, I think thats alright. In order to make my problem clear, I moved my setup files into my desktop folder and reinstalled the program.And still I captured the failure and made some comments in the picture. But this time I've found another clue, which may be the real problem for my installation failure,that is the language pack for my setup files is "en-US" so it is supposed to be installed in an English-bases OS.If this point can be comfirmed, the problem could be switched as settled. And there is one question left, I downloaded the file by BitTorrenting because it was fast, but there wasn't(and still isn't)any selection for a non-English downloading track of version 2.0.So I HAVE TO download the setup files by other methods if I am a non-English user?

I don't see this as a P3 issue: We have a valuable workaround. With correct settings this won't happen. Maybe this is an OS problem.
