Hi,

I am reaching out for assistance with an issue I encountered while using OpenMEEG to build a head model in Brainstorm. I received the following error message (error

 OpenMEEG call: om_assemble -HM  
"C:\Users\郑涵月\.brainstorm\tmp\openmeeg_250408_180226\openmeeg.geom"

Currently, I've noticed that the default installation path for Brainstorm is set to a user directory, which contains Chinese characters in the path. I am wondering if this might be related to the errors I’m experiencing.

If the installation path could indeed impact functionality, could someone please guide me on how to change the default installation path for Brainstorm to a different location without special characters?

Thank you for your help!

Indeed, it seems the Chinese characters in the path are the trouble.
