Qt Creator: error with SHGetSpecialFolderPath while building any example

DenisFromNN

I'm trying to build one of Qt examples in Qt Creator and give an error with SHGetSpecialFolderPath:

Starting: "C:\ALL\QtSrc\5.6\msvc2015_64\bin\qmake.exe" C:\ALL\QtSrc\Examples\Qt-5.6\qtdeclarative\quick\demos\calqlatr\calqlatr.pro -r -spec win32-msvc2015 "CONFIG+=debug" "CONFIG+=qml_debug"
SHGetSpecialFolderPath() failed for standard location "16", clsid=0x1c. (??????? ?? ??????? ????? ????????? ????.)

I have found that clsid with value 0x1c is the path to CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA, which also contains the user name, and on my machine it consists of non-ASCII symbols (Russian letters).
May be a problem in this? Is there any way to resolve it without renaming the folder with an user name?

Hi,

Can you create a dummy project and run this code ?

wchar_t path[MAX_PATH];
qDebug() << SHGetSpecialFolderPath(0, path, CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA, FALSE);
qDebug() << QDir::fromNativeSeparators(QString::fromWCharArray(path));

I can't run any project on Visual Studio kits, because it writes that "cl" compiler wasn't found, but I was able to build an example with MinGW without any errors

Did you install the visual studio version that matches your Qt version ?

By the way, building is one thing, could you run it ? If so, what did you got ?
