Delphi 2005 debugging launch bug

Posted: 29.11.2004 16.22.24 (EET/GMT+2)

I found a bug with Delphi 2005 today, and it occurs when I create and .NET application and the destination output directory contains non-ASCII characters in it's name.

If this happens, the error message on Run/Run (the F9 key) is merely "Unable to create process", which is somewhat unhelpful.

The workaround is to change the output directory (or the project's directory) so that it doesn't contains characters like Ä, Å or Ö.

This incident has been reported to Borland's QualityCentral with the report number 9660.
