CW 8.8 file error 206009 when creating new project for P1020RDB

[bulkin]

When creating a new barebone (Freescale EABI) project for 1020RDB using the wizard, an error occurs during the creation process. This leads to the project not being properly created: the source and linker files are missing from the project tree. CW is v8.8.5 with SP1 for P1020. Contents of the error dialog: "File Error 206009. Invalid file name.

Based upon the error message, there is something wrong with the name of your file. You either have a file name with illegal characters, or your project is located in a deeply nested folder and the length limit of the path name to the file is exceeded.

Seems like CW doesn't like nonlatin filenames: I was creating the project in "My Documents" in a localized version of Windows.

Thanks for the quick response.
