Sadly, it's not unusual at all to see a Windows app crash and burn when paths contain non-ASCII characters. It's just what it is to non-English computer users.
I've couldn't build some files in Android Studio on windows, because path to gradle contained non-english characters. It's a common problem for a lot of linux-based tools. Sometimes even spaces in directory names are enough to break those tools.
oh yeah. You have to re-create user account with ASCII username if that happens.
And clearly those things are why there is C:\ProgramData\(that's under 8+3 characters!) since late XP era - even "C:\Program\ Files\" must have been too much sometimes, and having that folder is a useful harm reduction; developer response to app not working under Program Files is to make random top level directories under C:\, not taking time to clear dech tebts.
