Bug:
VST3 plugins in folders named with special characters are ignored.

Test Example:

  1. Install some Klevgränd plugins, placing the .vst3 files in:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Klevgränd

  2. Watch as Cubase 12.0.70 ignores the plugins in the folder and refuses to scan them.

  3. Rename the Klevgränd folder to “Klevgrand”:
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\Klevgrand

  4. Cubase 12.0.70 now successfully scans the folder.

Expected results:
As an international product, Cubase should respect folder names with special characters.

Thank you, @Martin.Jirsak !

Of note: This issue does not seem to affect VST2 plugins in VST2 directories named with special characters. It only seems to apply to VST3 plugins within the C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 directories.
