Description
I have 5.9.12 installed on Windows Vista Ultimate.. I have it as a startup program. When it tries to start, I get an error:
Windows Script Host Script: D:\BOINC\BOINC Manager.vbs Line: 2 Char: 1 Error: The system cannot find the file specified. Code: 80070002 Source: (null)
I click "ok" and the program doesn't run.. However, if I start BOINC manually (using Start>Programs>BOINC>BOINC Manager, it runs perfect. This only happens when booting.

If you do the fix that Rom recommends, on boot (at least under Vista Home Premium, single user install, not starting at logon) Notepad opens with the content of the script. Closing the window and then starting the manager from the start menu works fine.

(In [12764]) - Disable HtmlEntityEncode/HtmlEntityDecode? on all platforms but
Windows for now.
- Change all references of mb_str() to c_str() in SkinManager?.cpp
to avoid SIGILL's on Unicode environments.

Oooppppssss,
I’m going to have to modify the installer so that it can generate the launch boinc manager vbs script at installation time. Right now the launch script is hard coded for C:\program Files\BOINC.
To fix the problem go ahead and open BOINC Manager.vbs in notepad and fix the path to where BOINC was actually installed.
This probably also affects those running localized builds of Windows as well.
