Title: Contributor Client 8.4 does not like non-English Windows accounts
Post by: cognosfan on 19 Oct 2009 08:12:00 AM
Hello everyone,

I was very dissapointed when found out, that Contributor Client 8.4 can not save temporary files in user's profile in c:\documents and setting\USERID\local settings\temporary internet files\content.IE5

When USERID is latin e.g. "Bob.domain" everything works fine
But when USERID is cyrillic, we get error like "Windows can not find c:\documents and setting\USERID\local settings\temporary internet files\content.IE5\YJM21..\cognosisapi[1].cogrcp"
We have localized Win XP OS and IE (Russian)
I suppose that such issue may be in other national localized environment
Am I true ? How to overcome this obstacle ?

Any  responce will be appreciated
Thanks

Are you sure your problem is connected with encoding? What happens when one of those non-english users change the language in "My preferences"? Is the Connection portal working properly/at all?

Sometimes, when there are two partitions on a disk, temporary files are stored on other (say D:) than the system partition (C:). Have you looked there?

Changing language in "My prefrences" is useless
The reason is that Contributor client 8.4 can not save temporary files if the path contains  Cyrillic characters.
This happens:
1) if userid is Cyrillic and temporary files are saved to user profile
2) or if i redirect temporary files in separate directory outside user profile. Localized Explorer call such directory "Временные файлы" instead of "Temporary files"

Are the other features of Connection Portal working properly? Is there anything logged in the cogserver logfile or in the clients JCE*.tmp logfile?

Got this same error on a machine with system language as Chinese. Initial unsuccesful install  > Change system language & unicode setting to english > Install contributor > Everything works fine > Put system language and unicode settings back to Chinese and then it pop up the error saying windows cannot find cognosisapiWindows cannot find cognosisapi[1].cogrcp

This is using an EP 10.1.1 FP2 client. Any thoughts on what can be done?
