Client fails to install add-ons if account name has non-latin characters

My account name includes non-latin (specifically, CJK charset) characters, and Curse Client fails to install anything.

(However, Cilent reports add-on is installed, even though I cannot find any trace of add-ons under WoW AddOns folder.)

I investigated what causes this, and found this problem:

Client downloads add-ons into this folder: Documents and Settings\[account_name]\Local Settings\Temp (*Note: I use XP SP3)

But it seems that if [account_name] has non-latin characters, Client can't use that file.

I think Curse Client should support unicode.

 

*Update: I created a new account without any CJK character, and Curse Client works. However, this does not really solve the root cause, only symptom.

This problem still happened to me using CC 3.0.0.5.

Is there any solution can solve it except change the account name to latin characters?

We've received reports of the client sometimes not properly processing path names with german or non-latin characters. We consider this is a flaw and are looking into implementing fixes.

 

Thank you for the feedback.
