Yes, you are right, let me append the message.
Just after a fresh install of Python with PIP on Windows. 
Whenever I start PIP, I get:
"Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"C:\Users
\BürgerGegenFluglärm\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32
\python.exe"  "C:\Users\B³rgerGegenFluglõrm\AppData\Local\Programs\Python
\Python35-32\Scripts\pip.exe" '"

Where the correct path is "C:\Users\BürgerGegenFluglärm\AppData..."

The funny thing is that the message mentions the path twice, with 
different wrong codings.
:-(

Thank you for your help.
