I've installed WebGrabPlus on 2 computers, on the first one with Windows 7 everything work fine but on the second
computer I have an error in the WebGrab++.config.xml .
From my understanding it has to do with the encoding of the file but I don't know why it happen since on the first computer everything work fine ?
The second computer use Windows 10 x86
Here's the short log file and XML file

===================
As you can see the error is that the username have an accent in the path and even if I change the location I have a second error that happen with "Série Plus" channel name.
I've even tried to process the file with this HTML converter: https://www.textfixer.com/html/html-character-encoding.php but it was not effective.
Why it work on my Windows 7 x64 machine and not on my Windows 10 x86 ?
Best Regards !
First of all, read our Rules & Guidelines
Second. Do wat those rules & guidelines tell you. In your case, I would upload both log and config files from both machines.
I've found the error the path had to be encode with % to be valid (since the path contained accents) so I used this online tool to encode it: https://www.freeformatter.com/url-encoder.html#ad-output
