This issue also affects Lazarus 1.6 and FPC 3.0+. GetWindowsSpecialDir in FPC 3.0.0 and trunk has severe encoding and buffer overrun issues. SHGetFolderPath links to SHGetFolderPathW if FPC_UNICODE_RTL is defined. But GetWindowsSpecialDir still calls it as SHGetFolderPathA, passing under-sized PChar buffer instead of PWideChar. Working on a fix. Denis
