Description
I have defaultTargetPanel and packs are installing to this location:
<file override="true" src="C:\kiln\installer\install_files\launcher\MinecraftEdu\" targetdir="$
" os="windows"></file>
It works fine, BUT if username contains special characters, like ä or ö, it converts them into: ,,
So when my username is kylmäoja, special characters show as ,, and installer fails.
I tried inputting direct path to my appdata folder (without environment variable) and it worked, so environment variables have wrong encoding data.
This has been tested with Windows XP and Windows 7 on separate computers.

I bypassed the problem with packs by defining every pack path separately for every OS Family (and running into few more problems, like .zip archives for every defined OS family are added into package size, even if it has been already added), but the same problem still occurs when creating shortcuts (and i don't think you can define OS family dependent paths to shortcuts?).
