Mingliang,

When I opened the same file from your picture in Sixpack, I get the same
error about the filename characters, but when I click ok to acknowledge the
error, I get the import dialogue and it appears that I would be able to
import the data anyway (and I did not get the error in background function
information that looks like a Python error and suggests things are
missing).

As for the Grnd.exe problem, it sounds like something is getting moved
around or not being copied to your computer during the installation, and
unfortunately I can't help you with that other than to suggest a reinstall.

wish I could be more help, but this is as far as I can go
-Richard
