[Qt-creator] Installation problem if installer is located in a directory with special characters in the name

[Maximilien Renard]

Hi there,

I've just downloaded the latest available snapshot for linux
(qtcreator-0.9.2-200902200439-linux-x86-set
up.bin) and the problem is still not fixed for me.

Regards,

Maximilien
