Delphi cannot launch .NET applications if the output directory contains non-ASCII characters QC#: 9660 Version: 2005 Status:
Open defect, requires resolution Description: When editing a .NET application (VCL/WinForms GUI, console, etc. but *not* ASP.NET) with Delphi 2005 and choosing the Run/Run command to launch the executable under the debugger, Delphi fails to launch the application if the output directory of the .EXE file contains non-ASCII characters.
For example, on my computer, the default location for output is "C:\Documents and Settings\Jani Järvinen\My Documents\Borland Studio Projects". The path contains a special character "ä", which causes the IDE to output the error message "Unable to create process" whenever I press F9 to run my application.
This is not a NTFS security issue nor misbehavior with antivirus products, for example. This problem is easy to fix by changing the directory name to one with just standard ASCII characters.
Oh, whenever this error occurs, an instance of dbkwmc90.exe is left behind. So watch your Task Manager's process list!
