Under Windows XP, and with Scilab 5.0.3 I've never experienced that
scilab failed to start from the directory C:\Documents and
Settings\Torbjørn Pettersen\My Documents\scilab<br>

Can you check your SCI and TMP variables <br>
<br>
SCI<br>
getenv('TMP')<br>
<br>
to see if Windows's short name make 'ø' hidden. If this is the case,
then change 'Torbjørn' to 'Tørbjorn' may produce the error message.<br>

Yes you are right in that the short name hides the ø letter..<br>
SCI = C:/PROGRA~1/SCILAB~1.3 <br>
and<br>
getenv('TMP') returns C:\DOCUME~1\TORBJR~1\LOCALS~1\Temp <br>
<br>
<br>
I opened a cmd shell and ran<br>
md c:\æøå<br>
set TMP=c:\æøå<br>
and started scilab from this shell:<br>
"c:\Program Files\scilab-5.0.3\bin\WScilex.exe"<br>
<br>
Scilab starts without problem and getenv('TMP') returns c:\æøå as it
should.<br>
So does the TMPDIR variable ( c:\æøå\SCI_TMP_3860_ ).<br>
<br>
The fun part is that running chdir(TMPDIR) works:<br>
<br>
-->TMPDIR<br>
TMPDIR =<br>
<br>
c:\æøå\SCI_TMP_3860_ <br>
<br>
-->chdir(TMPDIR)<br>
ans =<br>
<br>
T <br>
<br>
-->pwd<br>
ans =<br>
<br>
c:\æøå\SCI_TMP_3860_ <br>
<br>
BUT this command does not work:<br>
<br>
-->chdir('c:\æøå\SCI_TMP_3860_')<br>
Can't go to directory c:\æøå\SCI_TMP_3860_.<br>
ans =<br>
<br>
F <br>

However, the bug <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3089" target="_blank">http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3089</a>
is still present in version 5.0.3, but from the comments in bugzilla it
seems to it may be fixed for higher versions of Scilab.<br>
