I downloaded the tortoisehg app from the official site here and that is 4.6.1 and when I click on the tortoishg workbench and it's not opening and no error shown, and when I even try to clone with command line I get this error

LookupError: unknown encoding: cp65001
I don't know what it the problem I always setup the app and everything goes smooth, please advice if anything I must install first or check to everything work fine
Thanks in Advance
After I asked here in the official issue list (Thanks to @DaveInCaz), I get the solution
" cp65001 (a Windows variant of UTF-8) appears not supported on Python 2.x.
Workaround: set HGENCODING=utf8 environment variable. "
and here is the link.
