Robocopy is creating build error when project is in a folder having name in other than English

Question

Using robocopy command which is not working for Korean language path. But it works properly in English language.

In my postbuild event I am using robocopy command to copy some dlls. This works perfectly in my system. But the same solution is not working when I put the code/project in a folder which name is in Korean language.

자동 is the Korean string used as the folder name in which project code is present.

Can you please tell how can I use robocopy to work with korean language path?

Edit

I found a solution and added that as an answer to this question. But I wonder there might be a better answer. So if anyone know a better answer please post it.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

After banging my head for quite a long time I found the solution.

I changed the locale of my system to korean and it worked. The locale of system(windows 7) can be changed in the following mentioned way.

Control Panel --> Clock, Language, and Region --> Region and Language --> 
Administrative --> Change system locale

What it did in actual was "it changed the system codepage to 946(for korean)". The default code page of system(windows) for English is 437.

The command which can be used to know the current code page of system is chcp(CHANGE CODE PAGE). If you use this command then it will give you a result like Active code page: 437. Below link provides more detail about code page.
