ExtPack install would fail if %TMP% path contains Chinese characters => Fixed in SVN

Description

I disovered this problem some time ago (half a year or so). I then thought it might be fixed soon. But it is not yet in 4.3.28.

It's like this. Yesterday I did a re-intall of my Windows 8 system since after 3 years the system is behaving strangely in many ways.

My Windows 8 account contains my name, hence the default %TMP% path contains Chinese characters like C:\Users\名字\AppData\Local\Temp. This would cause ExtPack installation fail with error code 1.

I am certain about this - because last time I encountered this error, I set %TMP% to C:\Temp and the installation succeeded as expected. And, this time I had the probem again, and I set %TMP% to C:\Temp as before, and, succeess!

Worth investigating but not a blocker as there is a workaround.

We think we found and fixed the problem. Could you install the latest Windows test build from here and verify that the problem is gone? Thank you!
