[MiKTeX] Updater and Windows API 1113 error

[clembibou <si...@wa...>]

Hi,

since I last updated MikTeX 2.9 (which also updated the "updater"
miktex-update_admin.exe to version 2.9.4214), the updater does not work
anymore and a pop up appears with "Windows API error 1113: No mapping for
the Unicode character exists in the target multi-byte code page" (in French,
since I use Vista French edition).

Contrary to other users with accentuated version of Windows encountering
this kind of problem "fc-cache -verbose" run smoothly, and all MikTeX
commands (latex, pdflatex, Yap, settings, package manager (synchronizes, but
no update capability)...) still work fine. Only the updater does not work...
which may be a problem to get a patched version of it in the future...

Note that I use MikTeX 2.9 since its release (and before, v2.7) on the same
computer without ever encountering this problem before.

Any workaround or solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance
