it was so hard, update first message, add log

Hey! This also happens to me when trying to update using the autoupdate. I couldn't update neither from 0.15.0 to 0.15.1 or from 0.15.1 to 0.15.2 And now I can't update to 0.15.3. (Well, I can but downloading it from the website).

I've attached my logfile.

I'm having the same problem. The update from 0.14 to 0.15 went perfectly, but all updates on 0.15 have failed with the "Bad conversion"-message.

The attached logfile seems to end when the download finishes and Factorio restarts.

Running the update from the commandline gives the following:
PS C:\Users\Håvard\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\temp> .\Factorio.exe --autoupdate-stage2 "instructions.json" --wait-to-close 20076
PS C:\Users\Håvard\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\temp> Regards from the updater slave

Hi, thanks for the report.

Updater doesn't handle non-english characters in file paths properly, so I think that is what caused this error.
We fixed it for 0.15.6, but you'll have to update to 0.15.6 manually (once it is released).
