Crash in resolver.py: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xfc' in position 32: ordinal not in range(128)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Double Click on the downloaded .exe

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect the program to install or load or something along those lines. 
I get an error message saying "See the logfile
C:\Users\Alex\AppData\Local\Temp\ckz_CNSF\namebench.exe.log"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I'm trying to use namebench-1.0.exe on Windows 7 64bit

Please provide any additional information below.
This is what is in the file from the error:

It's a bit bizarre to be honest. The crash is in the dnspython library, which 
is unable to 
read your registry for some reason. Somewhere there is a ü character. I'll put 
in a 
workaround so that if it cannot read the registry, that it doesn't crash.

Workaround committed in revision 414. Will be part of 1.0.1 release.

1.0.1 has been posted - can you confirm if this fixes the bug, or simply moves 
the 
crash around?

I do not get the same error now. However it still does not work. 
The unzip progress bar goes to the end and then freezes. It says "Unzipping... 
(Not
Responding)". Then the namebench menu comes up and when I click on "Start 
Benchmark"
I see a pop up that says:
list index out of range

Also when I close out of the program I get this error

"See the Logfile at C:\Users\Alex\AppData\Local\Temp\ckz_6SPR\namebench.exe.log"

This is what the file says:

This should be fixed in version 1.0.2.
