IME). 
2. Start installer, follow the steps till Setup Type dialog appears.
3. Click Browse button to bring up Select a directory dialog.

Rui, can you create a folder using the same Chinese or Korean name though
Windows Explorer?
And have you set Chinese or Korean as the default language through control panel
-> Region on the English W2K?

Comment 4

[Rui Xu]

MS applications can create a folder using the same Chinese or Korean name
properly.

Even though set Chinese or Korean as the default language through control
panel, can still repro this bug. And, it shouldn't relate to the system 
locale and language settigs since this is an unicode problem.

We really need to compile apps as an Unicode.  
Settign the milestone to moz 1.0 and lowering the Priority.
