Doesn't work with Japanese paths about ipfilter HOT 11 CLOSED

Hi @molitar . How comfortable are you with the Windows Registry? It looks like it's finding where BitTorrent is installed from the Windows Registry, and then trying to resolve that to the folder on the disk. And that's where it fails. If not, I can always add some more logging to nail this down.

I am very comfortable with the registry. I use to do Dell Poweredge Server Support until it moved to Bangalore now I do ProSupport. Though I am now using qBitTorrent got tired of all the bloat in uTorrent

from ipfilter.

Did you still have the problematic uTorrent installed? The install location is in the registry at Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\uTorrent (or at least it used to be). Check both HKLM and HKCU, and also when you're under the HKLM key, it's probably going to be in the 32 bit registry Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\uTorrent.

If you find that key, what is the InstallLocation value set to under there? .NET seems to not like parsing the path that's in that.

I'm going to close this issue but please re-open or log a new one if you run into this still

Hi @molitar , I've re-opened this issue. Can you please check the InstallLocation in the registry as I noted just above?

from ipfilter.

Hi David.

UninstallString "C:¥Program Files¥qBittorrent¥uninst.exe"

That is under the latter path Wow6432Node and is correct path. BTW I run in Japanese Locale mode so backslashes show as the Yen symbol by Microsoft.

Hi @molitar . Are you able to test version 3.0.2 please? If it still crashes, the log should provide more details.

Hi DavidMoore that worked great and the log shows it wrote the file to the correct folder location for QBitTorrent. Looks like the problem is resolved. Thanks
