Still fine with build of 14-11-2021. Issue with 16-11-2021
Oh, it's incredible to see a bug reported by an experienced bug reporter, against an *installer*, its pre-release texting version, concerning *invalid characters*, without indication of the OS, locale, or the exact URL of the downloaded installer.
(In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #2) Of course, install path would be nice to have, too; and also detailed install script - as suggested in FAQ [1] (assuming it's Windows, as may be indicated by that "Error 1324").

(In reply to Telesto from comment #4) Thanks! So the actual error message was "Fout 1324.Het pad Adobe-Japan1/H bevat een ongeldig teken.", right? Googling MSI error 1324, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/292582 is a link in MS knowledge base (for an old product), suggesting that it may be because there's some invalid data present in the registry. It suggests to search the registry for the specific string reported in the error message - in this case, it's 'Adobe-Japan1/H', and replace it with a valid path. Specifically here, the invalid character is the forward slash '/', which likely needs to be replaces with backslash '\'. I have no idea why could that happen; and up to now, there were no reports for that problem AFAIKT. So for now, let's consider it a random Windows failure, or possibly some problem with a random previous testing pre-alpha package, which would not be a bug until it is clear that it's in the RC/production packages.
I experience the same bug on Windows and exclusively with the last daily version. So the issue is not limited to the reporter's registry.
Note that the uninstallation of previous version does not fix the issue: LibreOffice dev installation still fails with the same error message referencing "the path to the folder Adobe-Japan1/H contains an invalid character".
(In reply to phv from comment #6) > I experience the same bug on Windows and exclusively with the last daily > version. So the issue is not limited to the reporter's registry. Hmm. I'm not a developer, so the following is a wild guess, and please take it with abundant amount of salt. The string "Adobe Japan1/H" looks like a PDF-specific (or maybe just Adobe specific) encoding name to me, which added with the time this appears, makes the commit 6ea7ca45782a7e1b46e18e994534ec0a7c71951b "tdf#141709 Register poppler_data for install", 2021-11-15 16:27:54+0100 a suspect. Adding Michael to CC. Would you please take a look and see if it's related? Sorry for wasting your time if it's not.
FWIW: even the administrative installation is failing (silently, so simply quitting).
(In reply to Ming Hua from comment #8) Great catch! I'll take care of it.
Installing poppler_data deploys cMap/Adobe-Japan1/H (notice it uses a dash instead of a space), but this is in the middle of a long list of files in cMap/Adobe-Japan1. So, I don't know why this particular one would be causing a problem.

The problem is that the filename is 1-character long, and make_absolute_filename_to_relative_filename in [1] uses wrong regex that only matches no less than two-character filenames.
