Description
This issue was found while working on JDK-8205991 and JDK-8205991 fails for exact same reason.

To reproduce this issue:
1) Create folder JavaTest����
2) Copy JDK to this folder.
3) Run E:\>E:\JavaTest����\jdk-13\bin\java.exe
Error: could not find java.dll
Error: Could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.

Simple console application which prints string works fine from same path.

This issue is reproducible with JDK-13 b13 on Windows 7 64-bit. I did not tried other versions.

Not sure if it is related, but in Region and Language settings -> Administrative -> Language for non-Unicode programs set to "Russian" in my case, otherwise my system has "English (us)".

Another approach to reproduce this issue is to create bat file inside bin folder and run it via Windows Explorer. See attached image. Not sure what problem is but shortcut to CMD which I have pinned to Start Menu runs CMD which understand non-ASCII characters and if I run CMD from start menu or Windows Explorer, then it will not understand non-ASCII characters.

See attached image on how I reproduce it. Note: In my image I have folder name "JavaTest����". In you case in CMD it named "JavaTestAc". Looks like CMD on your machine does not see this folder with non-ASCII characters correctly. You can try to CD first into this folder.
