I see similar problems using WSH so I think the problem is in WScript.Shell, rather than in Python's access to COM. Slightly simplified and with the directory created: <package> <job id="js"> <script language="JScript"> WScript.Echo("Start") var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell"); var oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut("C:\\Těší mě čý żółąźćśęŁ\\link do večer ŻÓŁĄKę ěší bla.lnk"); oShellLink.TargetPath = "c:\\bin\\bb.api"; oShellLink.Save(); WScript.Echo("End") </script> </job> </package> C:\bin>cscript ul.wsf Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001.
