WinRAR and unicode/chinese characters?

[Goi]

Hi,
I have WinRAR 3.62 and I'm having trouble extracting files with unicode names within an archive. This happens on both single archive and multi part archives. On the former, after extraction an error message pops up saying "Cannot move file: Cannot read from the source or disk." and on the latter, after extracting the first part, a window keeps pops up asking me for the location of the 2nd part despite me giving it the file.

Does anyone know how I can extract these archives? Thanks!

So I managed to find a fix to the single file archives. I'd just double click on it, causing the files inside to run(avi file in this case), and then I was able to go to the winrar's temp directory to copy the temporarily extracted file over to my desired destination directory. It's a hassle but it works. It still doesn't work with the multi-file archives though since it still asks me for the location of the 2nd part...

Unicode seems to work if I just rename some random file to a unicode file name and archive it as a unicode archive. I'm able to extract that file correctly, but doesn't seem to work on these particular files...so maybe it's not a unicode problem?

Any ideas?

Your solution is probably the best solution.
One thing you could do is to set your regional settings on windows to Hong Kong, but sometime you'll lose computability with your current installed English program.
