Description
Here is a simple test program (for jna 3.5.2):
import com.sun.jna.platform.win32.Kernel32Util;
public class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String s = Kernel32Util.getComputerName();
return;
}
}
When I test it on win7 account цц (2 cyrillic characters), I get the following exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Users\??\AppData\Local\Temp\jna1644595665224573683.dll: Can't find dependent libraries

When I test it on win7 account xx (2 'normal' characters), all goes fine.
This is heavy if you want to ship to russia or the most places in the world.
What may I do with this ?

Research direction
Start with the native-loading path in Native.java, especially Native.loadNativeLibraryFromJar and Native.loadNativeLibrary, using the supplied Test program on Windows 7 with a Cyrillic username. Investigate why the extracted DLL path is represented with question marks, then verify that the program runs successfully under a non-ASCII account.
