It would seem the entire Mono framework has a problem handling paths that
contain non-ASCII characters, for instance the acute accent on the 'e' of
my first name, Jérémie (I've noticed that Firefox has this problem too).
This is problem that is somewhat resolved when specifying the proper
MONO_EXTERNAL_ENCODINGS to "default_locale", However this proves to not
always be the case.

I've been trying to run XSP for some time, and I just now realized the
problem. XSP unsuccessfully tries to create, and access DLLs in the folder:
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\Jérémie\LOCAL SETTINGS\TEMP\Jérémie-TEMP-ASPNET

The folder (and the temporary subdirectory) are created, but there seems to
be an error accessing this (and running the temp .DLL there).

The manifestation of this problem: XSP starts seemingly without problem,
but as soon as you make a page request, it crashes without any error message.


To make sure the problem was indeed with the file, I created a temporary
WinXP account, called Guest (thus without accents), and ran XSP from
there—it ran without any problems at all, and I got the sample index page,
with the links to all the showcases.


(Is it possible to specify that XSP use C:\WINDOWS\TEMP as temporary
directory?)

Does this still happen with latest mono release?
