Replace the file AboutDialog.py (...\EventGhost\eg\Classes\).

Hello Pako,

Your solution worked!

Can you tell me what may have changed? The problem was (past tense) new.

Thanks again!

The problem was one new plugin where there was a text string with an unexpected encoding. More specifically the plugin author's name contained non-ascii characters.

The about dialog has been fixed, but I don't think a new installer has been made since then.

Thanks!
