Hi xiuhong xiang,

We use Mercurial  for transporting files differences from the server to the agent. Unfortunately, we have not been able to get Mercurial to work with file paths using Chinese characters on Windows. We have previously spent sometime looking into possible solutions and we will look into this again in the future. Meanwhile you will need to rename the file and reset the repository to get this working again.
