iojs windows x64 installer changes CJK letter to ?? in the Windows-System-Path

[eu81273]

my Windows System Path include some CJK(Chinese, Japanese, Korean) letters. May be almost CJK users set windows user name to their language. (ex. 載河)

when I installed this iojs using x64 MSI installer, it changed the path to ???? like below.
D:\Users\載河\AppData\Roaming\npm -> D:\Users?????\AppData\Roaming\npm

Any references or reasearch you can provide on this would be greatly appreciated. Does the node installer do the same thing, do you know? We're using plain msbuild that comes with Visual Studio 2013 Desktop Edition (Express) and the sln is in tools\msvs\msi, look in vcbuild.bat for where it's called.

@JacksonTian Is the above issue familiar to you? Do you have any idea what might cause it?

I don't take windows PC on my side today, will research it at home.

I didn't have any issues with a user named "絶望". Are you sure it's not just cmd.exe displaying CJK characters as "?"?

I can't reproduce the issue on my 64bit Window7 system. @eu81273 could you change code page with chcp command. It will resolve your issue.

// show your current code page
chcp
// change your code page with following command
rem 英文
chcp 437

rem 日文
chcp 932

rem 简体中文
chcp 936

rem 韩文
chcp 949

rem 繁体中文
chcp 950

rem utf-8
chcp 65001
