DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'node.dll' from international folder

[mfrisbey]

A C# application consuming Edge.js crashes when running in a folder containing Asian characters. To reproduce the issue:

• Create a folder containing Japanese characters (example: カタカナ)
• Use Visual Studio (I used Visual Studio Community 2017) to create a new C# Windows Forms App inside this folder.
• Install version 8.2.1 of Edge.js using NuGet.
• Write simple code that scripts node.js code from C#. I used the sample code from the Edge.js readme to display a message from node.js code when the user clicks a button in the application.
• Run the application, ensuring that the node.js code executes.
• Note that the application encounters an exception:

System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'node.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
   at EdgeJs.Edge.NodeStartx64(Int32 argc, String[] argv)
   at EdgeJs.Edge.<>c__DisplayClass11_0.<Func>b__0()
   at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.RunInternal(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state, Boolean preserveSyncCtx)
   at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state, Boolean preserveSyncCtx)
   at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)
   at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart()

• Copy the visual studio project and all its code to a folder that does not contain Japanese characters
• Build and run the application. Note that no exception is generated.

I'm running on Windows 10. I'd be happy to provide additional specs as needed.

I have a sample project that produces this issue - the .zip file is 50 MB. I can provide the project if requested, but it is easily recreated using the steps to reproduce.

These issues should be resolved in https://www.nuget.org/packages/EdgeJs
