I am genuinely concerned that you are having these problems. It is our intention that the codes install and run easily on all the different platforms. Judging from the large number of people on this mailing list happily using the codes, it would seem that we are mostly successful. I am currently working on the windows installer in advance of this summer's APS XAFS School, so now is a good moment to try to solve your problems. If you are inclined to help me troubleshoot, I am inclined to attempt to solve the problem.
A followup to the unicode issue: I use a tool called PerlApp to build stand-alone windows executables of my codes. While researching how it handles temporary directory creation, I came across the following: http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=43697 It would seem that the issue Kleper and Shiryaev are seeing is the result of that bug, which has been resolved in recent versions of PerlApp. I was certainly using a version of PerlApp that showed this problem when the previous installer was made. I am now using version 7.2, so things should work fine for non-ascii language speakers. I will communicate with Kleper and Shiryaev off the list to ask them to test the new installer.
