I tried to use SyncToy v1.0.0.64 on Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2
Japanese language. Case with folder name that includes multi-byte character,
SyncToy happens exceptions at any time.

And I can't delete Folder Pair because application happens exceptions belows.

System.OverflowException:
at System.Convert.ToByte(Char value)
at SyncToy.Snapshot.HashPath(String path, Boolean getOldName)
at SyncToy.Snapshot.GetSnapshotWildcard(String leftPath, String
rightPath, Boolean leftSide)
at SyncToy.SyncEngine.DeleteSnapshotFiles()
at SyncToyUI.SyncToyUIForm.DeleteSnapshot(SyncEngineConfig dirPair)
at SyncToyUI.SyncToyUIForm.DeleteDirPair(String strName)
at SyncToyUI.SyncToyUIForm.DeletePair(String pairName)
at SyncToyUI.SyncToyUIForm.btnDelete_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e)
at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e)
at System.Windows.Forms.Button.WndProc(Message& m)
at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m)
at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)
at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg,
IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

Once SyncTool happens exceptions, I must kill SyncTool process from
TaskManager.
 
Same happens to me too! Probably only can handle single byte characters.
Shame! Nice idea but.......

Sorry to hear about this Andy and Kayakaya,

We built and tested SyncToy on XP SP2 EN-US (English US). We just didn't
have the time or resources to test it on other languages or other versions of
Windows. That said, we'll note this bug for future releases.
