This means that there is some issue with non-ASCII characters (in French 
it's often accents), either in a path or in an error message. This is a 
bug and it would be great if you could report it on the bug tacker [1].

But in the meantime, in case the error comes from special characters in 
a French error message, you could switch the GUI to English and then 
relaunch it to see what the error message is. If the error is linked to 
special characters in a path, try to move everything into a pure ASCII 
path .
