      I don't think this is the username, except for old versions of SU.

      Sometimes, Sketchup cannot read the rbs/rbe file. This seems to come from an installation done without adminsitrator rights.
      In general, a reinstallation of SU would solve the problem.

        Thanks Fredo.
        Perhaps the odd-characters in the user-name are a "red-herring".

        For the avoidance of doubt...

        On a PC the only correct way to install any application like SketchUp...

        Close that version of SketchUp, if necessary.***
        You must then find the SketchUp installer's exe file - it's usually in your "Downloads" folder.
        Select its icon.
        Right-click > Context-menu >
        "Run as administrator"
        When prompted choose "Repair".
        Let it complete the installation.
        When you restart SketchUp it should work properly.

        ***If it's a new installation [e.g. you have previously uninstalled it, or it's just brand-new] the offered installer's option will just be "Install"...

                            Ce ruby Libfredo6 v8.1d n’est pas marché sur sketchup pro 2016 (win10) dans l’ordinateur portable (surface pro5). Comment je le fixe ? en fait, le ‘***’ est la différente langue (c’est la langue coréenne). C’est la raison de montrer ce bug ?

                              I suspect it's to do with your Windows user name [ali yönder] containing some invalid character [likely the 'ö'].
                              Ruby must be given UTF-8 encoded text strings.
                              I'm sure that Fredo's code will attempt to force every string's encoding into an acceptable format.
                              Clearly it's failing in your case...
                              What is your normal system encoding ?
                              Perhaps Fredo can comment...

                              The other similar post's issue is again almost certainly because of the 'langue coréenne' user-name encoding...

                                This is related to the encoding of ENV["xxx"] variables, where LibFredo6 does try to convert them to UTF-8.

                                Could you open the Ruby console and type sequentially

                                • a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]
                                • b = a.force_encoding("UTF-8")
                                • b.encoding (should return UTF-8)

                                Can you also type

                                • c = LibFredo6.get_dir_from_ENV("LOCALAPPDATA")
                                • c.encoding (should return UTF-8)

                                Thanks to report if there are errors.

                                Fredo

                                  Thanx for reply TIG & Fredo

                                  I am from Turkey nd there are 'ı,ü,ö' letters in my sytstem.

                                  I've written

                                  • a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]
                                  • b = a.force_encoding("UTF-8")
                                  • b.encoding

                                  to ruby conlose.

                                  but it has failed again.

                                  a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]

                                  b = a.force_encoding("UTF-8")

                                  then, i ve written

                                  • c = LibFredo6.get_dir_from_ENV("LOCALAPPDATA")
                                  • c.encoding

                                  to ruby console, but it has failed again 😞

                                  c = LibFredo6.get_dir_from_ENV("LOCALAPPDATA")

                                    Try this slightly different way, which sidesteps reading in the frozen system string...

                                    puts a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]**+""** puts b.encoding puts b = a.force_encoding("UTF-8") puts b.encoding

                                    Fredo needs to fix his coding, once we get to the bottom of this issue...

                                      Apparently ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"] is not defined.

                                      Could you type in the Ruby console

                                      ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].inspect

                                      @TIG: indeed, in LibFredo6 code, I duplicate the original string before forcing encoding. Just forgot this detail here.

                                        So whenever any of us intend to use a 'frozen reference' we need to use something like:
                                        a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]+""
                                        to make a copy of it to work on 😉

                                            Many thanks

                                            Then can you type the commands suggested by TIG

                                            puts a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]+"" puts a.encoding puts b = a.force_encoding("UTF-8") puts b.encoding

                                            and add this one

                                            puts a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encode("UTF-8")

                                            Thanks

                                            Fredo

                                            IMPORTANT: your profile says you use Sketchup 8. Is that correct?
