Does the C:\Documents and Settings\pe�aijm directory exist? (maybe a problem
with the e�e?)

It should work if you set the HOME or USERPROFILE environment variables so
they point to the actual directory (or alternatively HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH).
You can also specify the location of the index file to be built/used with
--index-file (both in fastri-server and fri/qri) --- some sort of alias (or
.bat wrapper) would make this practical.

FastRI uses the following code to find the home directory:

  # Returns the home directory (win32-aware).
  def find_home
    # stolen from RubyGems
    ['HOME', 'USERPROFILE'].each do |homekey|
      return ENV[homekey] if ENV[homekey]
    end
    if ENV['HOMEDRIVE'] && ENV['HOMEPATH']
      return "#{ENV['HOMEDRIVE']}:#{ENV['HOMEPATH']}"
    end
    begin
      File.expand_path("~")
    rescue StandardError => ex
      if File::ALT_SEPARATOR
        "C:/"
      else
        "/"
      end
    end
  end
