Crash in resolver.py: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xfc' in position 32: ordinal not in range(128) about namebench HOT 7 CLOSED

It's a bit bizarre to be honest. The crash is in the dnspython library, which 
is unable to 
read your registry for some reason. Somewhere there is a ü character. I'll put 
in a 
workaround so that if it cannot read the registry, that it doesn't crash.

Workaround committed in revision 414. Will be part of 1.0.1 release.

1.0.1 has been posted - can you confirm if this fixes the bug, or simply moves 
the 
crash around?

I do not get the same error now. However it still does not work. 
The unzip progress bar goes to the end and then freezes. It says "Unzipping... 
(Not
Responding)". Then the namebench menu comes up and when I click on "Start 
Benchmark"
I see a pop up that says:
list index out of range

File"libnamebench\nameserver_list.pyc", Line 123, in_init_

File"libnamebench\nameserver_list.pyc",line 209, in
ApplyCongestionFactor

File"libnamebench\conn_quality.pyc",line 50, in
CheckConnectionQuality

File"libnamebench\conn_quality.pyc",line 44, in
GetNegativeResponseDuration

Also when I close out of the program I get this error

"See the Logfile at C:\Users\Alex\AppData\Local\Temp\ckz_6SPR\namebench.exe.log"

This is what the file says:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "libnamebench\tk.pyc", line 85, in run
  File "libnamebench\base_ui.pyc", line 58, in PrepareBenchmark
  File "libnamebench\nameserver_list.pyc", line 123, in __init__

  File "libnamebench\conn_quality.pyc", line 50, in CheckConnectionQuality
  File "libnamebench\conn_quality.pyc", line 44, in GetNegativeResponseDuration
IndexError: list index out of range

This should be fixed in version 1.0.2.

Everything appears to be working now. Thanks for the fixes.
