Help with VB.net and non-ascii characters image paths

Hey, I need some help about resizing an image with non-ascii characters in it's path using VB.NET... I've tried everything, I'm searching for a solution for over a month, I even thought about encoding the path to Base64 and changing the source to decode it back.. this will be my next try.

Problem is like that: convert.exe converts every image that does not have any non-ascii characters (such as french/arabic/hebrew letters) in its path without any problem.. but whenever I try resizing an image which has a non-ascii character in its path, it just won't convert it.. problem is vb.net uses Unicode (UTF-16) for strings, and convert.exe accepts UTF-8, I have tried converting the encoding, nothing helps.

Any ideas guys? I'm desperate...

Thanks

Post a URL to a a few small images with french/arabic/hebrew letters and we will download it and attempt to reproduce the problem. We will verify if ImageMagick works for us and if not try to trace and repair the problem.
