 latest version of fossil for windows (available from the
 download page.)  The commands above all work correctly
 for me.

+
+So far no joy with opening repository/adding files to it.
+I am checking it on Czech mutation of win XP, SP2 (that's why I have
+path with some weird ascented characters in APPDATA variable)
+After reading "Note to windows users" at [http://sqlite.org/capi3ref.html#sqlite3_open],
+I realized there shall be UTF-8 encoded path presented. So as a temp workaround
+I modified  line 561 in db.c as follows:
+
+zHome = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\user\\Data aplikac\xC3\xAD";/*  zHome = getenv("LOCALAPPDATA");*/
+
+With this change it creates "user" and "local checkout" database files at "c:\soft\bin"
+or "c:\Documents and Settings\user\Data aplikac&#237;" directories (with journals at times)
+
+
+Debugging fossil.exe open .\myrep01 (with myrep01 already created) with breakpoint set
+on vfile_scan function does not stop there (I can catch sqlite3ErrorMsg, with backtrace log below)
+
+Would you recommend some places to look at/things to check? Many thanks.
