Public bug reported:

If the username of Windows (7, but very likely reproduceable in later
versions) includes non-english characters, such as scandics, the first
start of the OpenShot fails to launch, and further startups fail to
create [?] the directory in the "Users" folder, and therefore rendering
the software un-usable, as said folder can not be renamed to not include
the illeagal characters after a username is created. Personally I
wouldn't mind omiting the creation of files in the "Users" folder by
creating the files in the installation folder, as then the default files
and folders would refer to the drive installed, that may differ from the
system drive.
