Hello Admin-crb,

thanks for your report.

FYI: We just released 1.4.6.

The problem you are seeing:

comes about by several facts:

1) your PATH, as returned by the OS, contains non-ascii (cyrillic) characters

2) os.environ() does not know which encoding environment
   strings come as from the C library

3) we scan the PATH at startup to find several binaries
   (.exe files) in order to auto-configure the client
   (such as a DICOM viewer)

I have now implemented a workaround -- failures with
"weird" paths will be logged but ignored. This is to
be released with 1.4.7. Your workaround for now is
to remove the non-ascii entry 

        C:\Documents and Settings\Admin-crb\?????? ??????????????????\RAD 
Studio\7.0\Bpl

from your PATH (at least for GNUmed).
