Anyway, the user name has Unicode characters outside the 7-bit ASCII range.
Still a mystery...
That's not a mystery, but fully allowed.
Specialize a type, not a var.

It's a mystery why the API call fails (in case of OP's computer). And only on extended characters at that.

Update:
Just completed install of fresh lazarus trunk, and this exhibits same behavior.
So I have done some further testing, if I set target as i386, then I get same odd behavior ie Path not found when run in IDE.
If I change target to x86-64, re-build application and now the IDE is displaying the correct folder.

video showing behavior in i386 and x86-64, at end of video I call up laza help so you can see the version info.

maybe its narrowing down the issue, I hope so.
The best way to get accurate information on the forum is to post something wrong and wait for corrections.

Might not be related but I seem to remember having a similar issue running an external application (file not found error), turned out to be that my 32bit application do not like accessing the "Program Files" directory on a 64bit system, recompiled as 64bit, worked fine. There is post on here somewhere that explains it fully. Sorry if I'm completely of the mark.

So 64 bit application works fine inside the IDE?
(but actually the 64 bit app doesn't run inside the IDE.)

It could also be a GDB.exe issue.
Did you try the 32bit version with Shift+Ctrl+F9 (or Run > Run without debugger) ???


Could you check all places where you have shell32.dll on your computer?

If I run without debugger it works correctly, if I create debug and release mode then neither of these work correctly,
So it looks like maybe gdb is messing with something.

Strange because I also use GDB 7.2 with my standard install of trunk.
I do download GDB 7.7.1 in my script but don't actively use it.

Here is 7.7.1
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/binaries/i386-win32/gdb/bin/
and here is 7.2.1
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Windows%2032%20bits/Alternative%20GDB/GDB%207.2.1/
(but I think the 7.2.1 is the same one I use with trunk because it's the one from the binutils)

You could try one of these.
