This is fossil version [137bff8294] 2009-08-15 17:45:28 UTC

c:\soft\bin>fossil new qqq.foss
fossil: unable to open database file

Older versions on fossil were creating new repos on non English win XP just fine:

log of successful acces to _fossil database while executing "fossil new qqq.foss" with fossil version [1b0c251575]
22:23:38.812	fossil.exe:1468	OPEN	C:\Documents and Settings\usr\Data aplikací\	SUCCESS	Options: Open Directory  Access: All

22:23:38.812	fossil.exe:1468	OPEN	C:\Documents and Settings\usr\Data aplikací\_fossil	SUCCESS	Options: OpenIf  Access: All

while recent version fails:

22:27:00.863	fossil.exe:3780	DIRECTORY	C:\Documents and Settings\usr\Data aplikací\	SUCCESS	FileBothDirectoryInformation: _fossil

I would guess, problem was introduced with check in [6b0196aeb8]

The problem seems to be stripped "í" character
(http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/00ed/index.htm)
from the localised path to the location where _fossil file is.

OK
C:\Documents and Settings\usr\Data aplikací\_fossil
Wrong
C:\Documents and Settings\usr\Data aplikac\_fossil

Check-in [00ac7945a9ead] seems a more likely cause than check-in [6b0196aeb874f], in which case check-in [a25092b14ca] should fix the problem. Please try [a25092b14ca] and mark this ticket as "fixed" if it works. Thanks.

Check in a25092b14ca helped and new repos are created OK. Thanks for your fix.
