Cant create image for Rasberry Pi

@jannis72929 thank you for your report. What you shared is not enough to reply. Could you share the complete log? There's a button in the installer to copy it or export it to a file.

Thank you; it seems that the output of imdisk's formatting include a char that cannot be represented in cp1252… What doesn't feel right is that the output should be something like:

[18:05:25] Creating device...
[18:05:25] Created device 0: F: -> D:\\hotspot-2021_06_01-17_18_58.BUILDING.img
[18:05:25] Notifying applications...
[18:05:25] Done.

which decodes fine. Maybe it's different on a German Windows ; will have to check.
