Hi all,

First post, decided to file bug after installing testing Cygwin 1.7 on
my Japanese WinXP on a Dell Core2Duo 64-bit x86-64 machine.

The net installer failed to write to the download directory, by
default the one in "My Documents" but written in Japanese characters.
When I created a parallel directory "Downloads" I could run the net
installer fine.

Best regards,
Gernot Hassenpflug
