Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest could not be extracted!

[AndCycle]

Windows 10 [Version 10.0.10586]

Python 2.7.11
PyInstaller 3.1.1

cmd use to create exe
pyinstaller --noupx --onefile --version-file=tmp\build_dist_ver.txt --debug --name=start_gui_console start_gui.py

I hit an issue which cause by chinese username,

if I create a windows user with chinese name,
which will make a directory based on it,

as the screenshot shows
chinese username directory

when execute a PyInstaller bundle exe under that user with chinese username,
it will kick out an error box
error screenshot

says

Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest could not be extracted!

which I have no clue about how to solve it,
some google do have one blog post mention about it

ok, a reference debug output,

as you can see only temppath is output in console with correct encoding,
so the _tempnam is actually output a multibyte encoding string,

int pyi_get_temp_path(char *buffer) in pyi_utils.c needs some correction about this
