Here's yet another instance of Visual Studio 2005 Japanese version unable to
cope with Japanese. Notice that this isn't a Unicode or I18N issue, it
doesn't matter if VS2005 does everything in ANSI (code page 932), there's no
need for any language other than Japanese.

A sufficiently cynical person would believe VS2005 here. If Microsoft says
they can't find the C:\Windows\ folder (where the vendor preinstalled
Windows on this machine), why not believe it.

Should the developer reference the windows folder using %systemroot%
instead of the hard coded path? Some machines have WINNT as the
directory if they have been upgraded a few times.
