Known Issues
Installation Paths with Multi-Byte Characters
When installing the Traditional Chinese 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.
Switching Languages
Changing the language using the Window>Preferences>Language Setting menu option
does not currently change all of the strings in the application to the selected language. This is a
known issue and will be fixed in a later release.
In the meantime we offer the following workaround for anyone who needs to change the
language:
