Description Rafael 2009-06-02 22:20:24 UTC 
Hello

I'm "trying" to use Amaya 11.1 and 11.2pre but I didn't know why after launching Amaya direct access on Windows XP 64 nothing happened. I was thinking it was a 64 bit o.s. related. However I tried to change Amaya directory instalation an "voilá", it ran perfectly. I discovered that to Amaya doesn't like folders like "c:\Programación\Amaya", cause "ó" is an Spanish character.

I wish you can solve this "tiny" problem soon.

Thank you and EXCELLENT job.

Amaya is compiled for 32 bit platforms. That could explain the origin of the problem.
