Issue Details

My Windows OS is in Korean and I am currently using LabVIEW in English version. I would like to save my VI in path that contains Korean characters but I kept encountering errors shown in the image and I could not save the VI at all. I am also unable to save my VI with title written in Korean. Is is possible to save a VI or project using LabVIEW English version in non-English characters?
