International Character Creates Invalid Server Folder Name

ID: Q132616


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows 95


SYMPTOMS

Using Netsetup.exe to create a server folder whose name contains international characters creates an incorrect filename.


CAUSE

Netsetup.exe incorrectly translates international characters entered in the Server Path dialog box. For example, attempting to create a server folder with the name "elan" (where the "e" has an acute accent mark) results in an unusable directory named "_lan."


RESOLUTION

Do not use international characters when you create server folders with Netsetup.exe. After you exit Netsetup.exe you can change the server folder name to include the characters you want.

Additional query words: directory
