Hi there, I'm trying to run TileMill on a Windows 7 64bits, but all I get is a black terminal for some short seconds and then nothing.

The log says :
*The "sys" module is now called "util". It should have a similar interface.

node.js:201
throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
^
Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Cr�ation\TileMill\index.js'
at Function._resolveFilename (module.js:334:11)
at Function._load (module.js:279:25)

I've only pasted the start of the log file... the rest is exactly the same kind of error blocks (once per failed run)

I'm not 100%, but it looks quite like a problem with the fact that I'm using a filepath wich contains an unicode (non ascii) character "é" ('C:\Création\TileMill\index.js').

(And I just tried uninstalling it and reinstalling in a folder without special chars... and yeah it works).
