UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 12: ordinal not in range(128)

Hello. I have been trying to run pronterface for a while now on Windows 10, I have the lastest binaries from the file Printrun-win-18Nov2017.zip but I had no luck. I get this message:

This is what the log prints each time:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pronterface.py", line 66, in <module>
  File "printrun\pronterface.pyc", line 2294, in __init__
  File "wx\_core.pyc", line 7974, in __init__
  File "wx\_misc.pyc", line 6216, in SetInstallPrefix
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 12: ordinal not in range(128)

I tried deleting the ini config file from my AppData folder but that didn't change anything.

Thanks in advance!

I have the lastest binaries from the file Printrun-win-18Nov2017.zip

That sounds like quite old binaries. Please try and let us know if the problem persists:

• Printrun 2.0.0-rc8
• ot the latest nightly build

Hi, thank you for replying so quickly! I extracted and ran the exe inside the pronterface-windows-x64_3.8-2.0.0rc8 file and got this message: This time no log file was generated. There was a new ini config file on AppData but it was empty.

Running the nightly build yielded this message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pronterface.py", line 62, in <module>
  File "printrun\pronterface.py", line 2582, in __init__
  File "printrun\pronterface.py", line 186, in __init__
wx._core.wxAssertionError: C++ assertion "strcmp(setlocale(0, 0), "C") == 0" failed at ..\..\src\common\intl.cpp(1699) in wxLocale::GetInfo(): You probably called setlocale() directly instead of using wxLocale and now there is a mismatch between C/C++ and Windows locale.
Things are going to break, please only change locale by creating wxLocale objects to avoid this!

My computer's region is Argentina in case it helps.

Hi @rociomarielgnas, sorry for the delay in answering, please have a try with the very latest binary and let us know how that goes.
