If Windows had a Korean user name, Tribler couldn’t run.(C:\user\사용자) I could install it, but it didn’t run. But when I logged on a different user name that is English, it could run. I think it is not only for Korean user names, but also for Chinese and Japanese user names, because there are a few programs that have the same problem. Maybe it is the problem of ANSI and Unicode of East Asian languages.
That should be fixed in Tribler 6.5.X (Except if you have non ASCII chars in your %PATH% variable which I’m planning on fixing it today).
If you still have issues with 6.5.X, please create a new issue at our github project page.
Cheers!
Tribler 6.5.1 also has the same problem of 6.5.0.
I have a laptop and a desktop. I tested to install and run Tribler 6.5.1 on my computers.
64bit Korean Windows 7 were installed to my laptop and desktop. My laptop has an English computer name and my desktop has a Korean computer name.(Computer Name of Windows)
English Computer Name and English User Name: OK
English Computer Name and Korean User Name: Not run without an error message.
Korean Computer Name and English User Name or Korean User Name: Not run with an error message.
I could install and run Tribler 6.5.1 on my English user name account of my laptop. I could install it on my Korean user name account of my laptop, but it couldn’t run on my Korean user name account without any error messages.
I could install Tribler 6.5.1 on my English and Korean user name accounts of my desktop, but it couldn’t run with an error message, “tribler.exe.log”.

I could install and run Tribler 6.5.0 on my English user name account of my laptop. Tribler 6.5.0 could be installed but couldn’t run on my Korean user name account of my desktop. I tested just two situations when I used Tribler 6.5.0, so I’m not sure the problem is same to 6.5.1. But I added “tribler.exe.log” message to this post, so you can find the problem.
And actually Tribler 6.5.1 runs on my Korean user name and English computer name laptop just for 0.1 second! But it turns off very shortly!
I’ve created an issue for this at github. You can follow it’s progress here:
Thanks for the report!
To confirm what needs to be fixed: Could you edit %APPDATA/.Tribler/libtribler.conf and modify the nickname setting with some ASCII only name?
Thanks!
