Ugh! I never realized how bad this one is!

In #522 report it looks not so dangerous since it states that only  
the drive name should not contain high ASCII characters, but actually  
it is the path to VComponents that must be accent-free so, as Jon  
correctly states here, if you bundle the VComponents folder into the  
app any high ASCII character in the app's pathname will prevent the  
app to launch!

Please Ruslan, it should also affect very much yourself since any  
cyrillic character will cause this.

Cool Runnings,
Erne.
