Known Issues
Installation Paths with Multi-Byte Characters
When installing the Chinese (Traditional or Simplified) or Japanese versions of Connect, if the
user specifies an alternative installation path containing multi-byte/wide-char characters it can
break some of the links to the Connect-related shortcuts in the Start Menu and cause an error to
appear at the end of the installer. The workaround for the moment is to use the default
installation path. The problem will be addressed in a later release.
