Special Characters in file names

I have a setup that has some files with Spanish characters like Ñ. When I run the installer on Russian windows, I get a file not found error for every file that has a special character. It looks like a bug in the installer. Unfortunately its not an easy thing to just change the file name to omit the characters.
Anything I can do for it?

Send us a minimum project that reproduces this issue - ex. a project which installs just one file with such a character in it, and we'll take a look at it.

Attached is a project that demonstrates the issue. I've also included the compiled version for you to try.
Here's the file name that we are using.

Was this issue ever resolved? I am having a similar problem, we want to use a folder name with a µ character in the name, but InstallAware ignores it if I am including it as a subfolder as part of the Install Files command, or if I explicitly add it as an Install Files folder, the compiler fails at that command. Can special characters be used for folder names in InstallAware?
