I think the problem may be that your host name has 8-bit characters in it. This appears to be a bug in updatetool.

If that is the case and you are the adventurous type you could try this code level fix:

Make a back up copy of:

"D:\glassfishv3\updatetool\vendor-packages\updatetool\gui\application.py"

Edit application.py and change line 87 from:

host_config_dir = os.path.join(config_dir, socket.gethostname())

to:

host_config_dir = os.path.join(config_dir, fsenc(socket.gethostname()))

Try to run updatetool again.

Hope this helps.
