Building cordova win8 app fails with norwegian display name

Hi 

I am trying to build my app as a win 8 app but I get all kinds of errors. The latest one is that my name "Anders Retterås" which I also use as DISPLAYNAME when I build is causing the build to crash.

I could always change this not to use the "å" (\xe5) character but then I have to recreate my windows devcenter user....

Here is my log:

Could you please have a look at my issue?
 

I have also encountered the four-part version number issue: The build script errors out saying I need a four-part build number eventhough I have given number 1.5.06.1 as my build number. At the moment I do not get this last error but I might get it back if I get the DISPLAYNAME to work again.

I am really looking forward to your response!

Regards,

Anders

Your build is failing because of the special character å in your display name. If you change it to normal character it should work. I'll check with build engineers if we will be able to support special character in display name. We support special character many other places so it should be possible.

About the 4 part version number issue. The Cordova build apparently dont like the leading 0's.

Change 1.5.06.1   to    1.5.6.1 and that error should go away.

The issue is with the publisher display name and not the application name.

I'm looking into the problem.
