I try to write my SD card and random Chinese letters and error appear and then the installer crashes.

My first guess at the reason for this is that there may be some compatibility problem with your card reader. Have you been able to use that card reader in the past for writing to the same SD card (or similar cards) ? And if that did work well, what software did you then use for the writing ?

My second guess is that there may be a problem with the SD card itself. Have you tried another SD card ? It may also be useful for us to know the brand and model of your SD card, as well as its card class. We strongly recommend cards of class 10 (or the newer UHS-class cards)

Btw: What version of Windows are you using ?

The reason for the Chinese characters in the error message is improper handling of utf-16 in the code. Some work was done for #30 to mitigate this, but it seems it was not enough. For the actual problem (error and crash), I have no answer.
