    Alexander - 2011-02-16

    Dear friends,
    I have troubles with installation of KDWard on my laptop (Windows Vista x32).
    I tried two ways (RKWard on Windows_ https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/rkward/index.php?title=RKWard_on_Windows):
    1) Using binary installation bundle.
    2) Custom installation: RKWard on Windows installer
    In the first case after extracting and creating foler with KDE and R I have files RKward-ico (with error path… so I see message: ") and RKward.bat (after running it I see follow message: "Please note that RKWard is not well tested on Windows, yet…." and than message aboute mistake rkward.bin.exe….
    In the second case… I can not install KDE…

    Can you help me with my problems?

    The best wishes!
    Thanks….

    Hi!

    Could you please post the exact error messages that you get (i.e. the one about something with RKWard.ico, and the one about rkward.bin.exe)?

    Regards

    Thank you very much!

    I`m sorry but I forgot say that systems language of my laptop is russian (so some folder`s name are cyrillic ).
    I change language. At present moment l have english language and some folder looking as "abrakadabra".
    So, if I run rhe RKWard-icon
    The first case, (see upper) process corrupt later!  :)
                           messege: Error starting R - RKward (black window)
    Family none
    Failed to create "C:/Users/???????/AppData/Roaming/.kde/cache-??????-??" failed to create "C:Users/?????/AppData/Roaming/.kde/tmp-???????-??" failed…. (3 times)

                          and than small window with follow message:

    There was a problem starting the R backend. The following error(s) occured:
    -There was a problem setting up the communication with R. Most likely this is due to an incorrect version of the `rkward` R-library or failure to find that at all. This indicates a broken installation.
    You should quit RKWard, now, and fix your installation. For help with that, see……

    Left click Ok……. and than message aboute terminate of rkward.bin.exe (sorry… text on russian language but idea  - "terminate")

    The second case (Custom installation: RKWard on Windows installer)
    When I install KDE in the last moment I see thу message aboute terminate kwinstartmenu.exe

    Thanks!!!

    Ok, thanks for the info.

    After looking around some more, it appears, there is a known problem for all KDE on Windows applications, when your username contains "non-latin1" characters: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201987 . Well… That's bad.

    Of course the obvious workaround is to create a user with only latin1 or even ascii characters in the name, and to run RKWard as that user (no new installation of KDE and RKWard should be needed). Sorry that I can't offer a better alternative, ATM.

    Regards
    Thomas
