The SOS Server 4.0 don't support chinese folder of VSS DB

[jetsun]

SOS server service won't start if the VSS Database file path include chinese character.
The following is from the server log file.

2004-3-31 10:31:13 - Error starting up server. Stopping now....

Server config:

I hope the next version of SOS 4 can support both chinese and english file path of the VSS Database file.

Thank you for the report. I'll log this as a bug and we'll see what it might take to fix this.

We've had a number of users who are using Chinese language, so it would be a good thing if we can resolve this.

When I try to create a project with a chinese character name, the sos client tell me that "Operation failed - $//测试".
The log.txt log the operation.

I can use the Visual SourceSafe Explorer create a chinese folder in the VSS Database sucessfully (Does not through SOS server and Client), but when I use the Sos client to display the content of the folder with chinese name, sos client says "No such file or project:$/测试"
