Not a SOSI file error

[Knall24]

Hi,
I am getting an error Not a sosi file:
Is there anything wrong with the comand i am running?
The SOSI file i am using can be downloaded here: http://data.kartverket.no/download/content/n500-kartdata-utm-33-hele-landet

sosi2osm NO_N500_Arealdekke.sos /projeckt/sosi2osm/lua/arealdekke.lua 
Not a SOSI file: NO_N500_Arealdekke.sos

All help appreciated!

I get this error aswell. The sosi file is UTF-8 and this is a problem for FYBA kartverket/fyba#9. Currently UTF-8 is not supported by FYBA. A workaround is to convert the file to ISO-8859-10.

I did use "iconv" in Ubuntu 16.04. I also changed the format tag inside the sosi file.

Thank you.
I installed iconv and it ran like a dream! I renamed the output from inconv to areal.sos

I think i am getting ther but still no "cigar"(hehe)
Do you have a data set that i can download that you know work?
Any suggestions?

Thanks to @tibnor for debuging this far. It might be best to add some checks for UTF-8 on windows and allow the user to convert to another character set. Iconv is already used in the application to convert the output to UTF-8 according to the osm standard. For the second error message people have reported it before. I do not have access to a Windows machine to test and debug the problem. I suggest you try it on a Linux machine. You could also try it on an OS X machine or the new Linux subsystem for Windows although these are also untested.
