We are having a problem whenever our application makes use of the XML

Japanese characters.

TestClass myClass = new TestClass();

When Serialize() is called, the following exception is reported:

System.InvalidOperationException: Unable to generate a temporary class
(result=1).
error CS0016: Could not write to output file
'c:\Users\??????\AppData\Local\Temp\qas_8hjs.dll' -- 'The directory name

Note the '?????' where the user name should be displayed.

We have tested this using a user with an English character-set based name,
and it is fine.

Is there something we have neglected to set up (for example any
environment
or AppDomain settings?) or is this a bug in the XML serializer?
