error when trying to install pinyin toolkit plugin to anki

[shalun]

On a clean install of Anki I am trying to install the pinyin toolkit (which I had previously and installed with no problem). When the plugin has been downloaded and I am prompted to restart anki I do. I then get this error:

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Turns out this was fixed by moving to an account with a non-Chinese username. I guess part of our path formatting assumes paths are ANSI? Must look into this.
