    text
    copied!<p>When I attempt to run a tool in P4V to get me my latest changelist, it gives the following error:</p> <blockquote> <p>Unicode clients require a unicode enabled server.</p> </blockquote> <p>The tool is configured like so:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/TglUO.png" alt="Last Sync Tool"></p> <p>However, if I run the same command directly from the command line it works fine. I run this command:</p> <blockquote> <p>p4 changes -m1 @mhughson_ce6</p> </blockquote> <p>I have double checked my registry, and I do <strong>not</strong> have an entry for "P4CHARSET".</p> <p>From what I understand, P4V stores its own values, and does not use the registry. I am guessing, it somehow has P4CHARSET set to something in P4V, but I cannot figure out how to actually change it. When I look at the connection info in P4V there is no information on P4CHARSET.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Update 12.02.2013:</strong></p> <p>I've run some p4 commands to print out my environment variables just to be 100% certain that P4CHARSET is not being set. Here are the results.</p> <pre><code>p4 set -s P4CLIENT=mhughson_ce6 (set) P4EDITOR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe (set) P4PASSWD=[removed] P4PORT=[removed] P4USER=mhughson (set) </code></pre> <p>-</p> <pre><code>p4 set P4CLIENT=mhughson_ce6 (set) P4EDITOR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe (set) P4PASSWD=[removed] P4PORT=[removed] P4USER=mhughson (set) </code></pre> <p>-</p> <pre><code>set ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\ProgramData AMDAPPSDKROOT=C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\ APPDATA=C:\Users\[removed]\AppData\Roaming CLASSPATH=.;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJava.zip CommonProgramFiles=C:\Program Files\Common Files CommonProgramFiles(x86)=C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files CommonProgramW6432=C:\Program Files\Common Files COMPUTERNAME=[removed] ComSpec=C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe FP_NO_HOST_CHECK=NO HOMEDRIVE=C: HOMEPATH=\Users\[removed] LOCALAPPDATA=C:\Users\[removed]\AppData\Local LOGONSERVER=\\[removed] NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS=8 OS=Windows_NT Path=C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\bin\x86_64;C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\bi n\x86;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Fil es (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files (x86)\Post- Review;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System 32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Perforce;c:\Program Files (x86)\Micr osoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools \Binn\;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\;C:\Program Files (x86 )\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Stati c;C:\Program Files (x86)\Xoreax\IncrediBuild;C:\Program Files (x86)\Perforce;C:\ Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64 PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER=Intel64 Family 6 Model 58 Stepping 9, GenuineIntel PROCESSOR_LEVEL=6 PROCESSOR_REVISION=3a09 ProgramData=C:\ProgramData ProgramFiles=C:\Program Files ProgramFiles(x86)=C:\Program Files (x86) ProgramW6432=C:\Program Files PROMPT=$P$G PSModulePath=C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\ PUBLIC=C:\Users\Public QTJAVA=C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJava.zip SESSIONNAME=Console SystemDrive=C: SystemRoot=C:\Windows TEMP=C:\Users\[removed]\AppData\Local\Temp TMP=C:\Users\[removed]\AppData\Local\Temp USERDOMAIN=[removed] USERNAME=[removed] USERPROFILE=C:\Users\[removed] VS100COMNTOOLS=c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Tools \ windir=C:\Windows windows_tracing_flags=3 windows_tracing_logfile=C:\BVTBin\Tests\installpackage\csilogfile.log </code></pre> <p>-</p> <pre><code>p4 info User name: mhughson Client name: mhughson_ce6 Client host: [removed] Client root: D:/ce6 Current directory: c:\Users\[removed] Client address: [removed] Server address: [removed] Server root: /metadata_journal Server date: 2013/02/12 18:30:48 +0100 CET Server uptime: 798:35:46 Server version: P4D/FREEBSD70X86_64/2011.1/370818 (2011/10/19) Proxy address: [removed] Proxy version: P4P/NTX64/2012.2/551823 (2012/11/09) Server license: [removed] Server license-ip: [removed] Case Handling: sensitive </code></pre>
