 This was just reported on the mailing list:

  I found finally what the problem is and the solution.

  Exception was raised when trying to set the scale bar in the print
 layout.

  It's all about Regional Settings. My computer has default French regional
 settings applied and the group symbol is set to blank. So, a scale number
 like 98765 is converted as 98 765. Because of this
 MgUtil.WideCharToMultiByte try to do conversion and fails.

  Changing this parameter (set ',' instead of blank) allows print
 correctly.

  Paco.
