Comment 15 for bug 855428

Hello all,

We have investigated this matter and we haven't been able to diagnose why syncdaemon is not starting further than noticing that we have some issues with non-ascii characters either in the user name, or in any directory in the user home.

So, for example, in a windows installation with .es locale, the home directory may have the string "Documentos y Configuración" in the user home path, and that breaks syncdaemon.
We're working hard on having all these bits working, since we were relaying on the user home be properly calculated in Python, but is not, so we need to code our own version of os.expanduser.

To anyone subscribed to this bug report, could you please state:

* what windows version you're running
* what windows locale you have
* your windows username
* the full path to your user home, without changing any non-ascii character

And if you don't have sensible information, please attach all your logs files located at:

Win XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\xdg\cache\

Win 7:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\xdg\cache\

Thanks everyone for helping us debugging this issue further.
Regards, Natalia.
