System Information
Windows 8.1 x64
Renderer: GeForce GTX 860M/PCIe/SSE2
Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Version: 4.4.0

Blender Version
Broken: 2.71.5 e2c412f

Short description of error
New builds failed to open by double clicking associated blend files with non-Latin charasters in the name of these files.
File -> Open is working.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Unzip and open attached blend file by double clicking non_latin.7z, if failed you should see a default startup scene
Now open the same file by File -> Open, should always work

GIF animation to illustrate the issue:

Sergey, I would suspect this could be due to new 'launcher' helper on win platform?

Could be but i can't reproduce the issue here.

Are there any error messages in the console?

Yeah, this could be Windows issue because I do not have Russian locale installed

Iv'e just committed a bit related change, which fixes issue with blender.exe -r registering blender-app.exe as the handler for .bend files (cb7d430).

For your thing i'm not really sure, did you type it manually to the console? I'm not really sure why you've got ? instead of actual letters.

Also, does the same issue currently happens with 2.71 official release?

Yes I typed it manually, guess it was silly move.

2.71 release is working, and if I will replace "blender.exe" on "blender-app.exe" in the Windows registry it would actually work! Thanks!

I think that "blender.exe" is no longer default executable file for the Windows platform should be announced/described somewhere, because some people like myself who are using ZIP archives instead of install packages will continue to associate their blend files with old "blender.exe", which would lead them to this problem.

The thing is, you should use blender.exe, not blender-app.exe.

I need to know exact circumstances in which blender-app.exe loads file nicely and blender.exe does not.
