Basically, right now I am using a computer with windows 10 where I log in with the user name \"Ángel\" (note the accented \"Á\"). When I tried installing MiKTeX 2.9.6813 here today, the installation program suggested the path \"C:\\Users\\Ángel\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\MiKTeX 2.9\", which I accepted. The installation eventually fails with a message \"Conversion from UTF-8 byte sequence to wide character string did not succeed\".\r\n\r\nI have checked that the issue can be reproduced by specifying any path with non-ASCII characters. The steps are:\r\n\r\n1. Run the installation program for Windows for MiKTeX 2.9.6813\r\n2. When the installation directory is suggested, enter \"C:\\Ángel\" with an accented \"Á\" (I expect any other path with at least a non-ASCII character would also lead to the same error).\r\n3. After a few minutes, the installation fails with the error \"Conversion from UTF-8 byte sequence to wide character string did not succeed\".\r\n\r\nI attach the log file generated when I reproduced the issue following the above steps.\r\n[setup-2018-10-02-17-51.log](https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/files/2438640/setup-2018-10-02-17-51.log)"}}
