Description
When I try to add any vector layer to newly installed QGIS 0.8.1-pr3 on Windows XP, it pops-up multiple sequential error messages:
"Could not open SRS database C:/Documents and Settings/Māris Nartišs/.qgis/qgis.db
Error(14): unable to open database file"
File exists and is readable in specified location.
Trying to do anything related to projections (open project properties etc.), qgis segfaults with message:
--------------------------- Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library --------------------------- Assertion failed! Program: C:\\Program Files\\Quantum GIS\\qgis.exe File: C:\\dev\\cpp\\qgis0.8branch\\src\\wid...\\qgspro...tor.cpp Line: 532 Expression: myResult == 0 For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts (Press Retry to debug the application - JIT must be enabled)

Completely uninstall old version, and try to re-install pre3 into an empty directory.

Uninstalled pr3, "Program filez/qgis" was removed properly, also rmed user/.qgis dir (with that .db file). Installed qgis into different directory but still same - cannot read SRS db file and anything projection related results in segfault.

- Status changed from Open to In Progress
It's due to having i18n characters in your home directory path. Interesting problem, I haven't been able to solve it yet.

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from In Progress to Closed
It was a bug in Qgis. The file name sent to sqlite3_open() must be in UTF-8, and not the local charset. Most Unix and Mac computers uses Utf-8 as default, but not Windows.
Fixed in .
Good catch Māris!
