I'll show you my screenshot about the steps that I followe.

I found the folder:

I renamed the folder:

I opened my note and past the code:

It didn't work so I wrapped the code with quotes:

And this is the error that appears:

Literally traslation "the specified path can not be found".

I hope you can help me.

Very informative! You've done everything correctly. Lets start with debugging your appdata environment variable:

1) Open a command prompt (
Windows key + r
then type in
cmd
and hit ok).

2) Type in
echo %appdata%
and hit enter.

It should say:
C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming


If it does the next thing we'll do is debug the appdata and IMVU client pathing:

1) Open a command prompt (
Windows key + r
then type in
cmd
and hit ok).

2) Type
echo %appdata%\IMVUCLient-Alice


That should say:
C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\IMVUClient-Alice


If it does the next thing I would try is navigating to that folder via the terminal:

1) Open a command prompt (
Windows key + r
then type in
cmd
and hit ok).

2) Type
cd %appdata%\IMVUCLient-Alice


The terminal should now show:
C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\IMVUClient-Alice>

in front of your cursor.


Let me know how those 3 tests went and we'll try some more things if any of them failed.

This step doesn't work.
I'll show you the screenshot:

Traslation: the specified path can not be found

The last step I didn't try because I thought before this must works.
I hope to did well.

Waiting for your answer

Try a backslash
\
instead of a forward slash
/
:

echo %appdata%\IMVUCLient-Alice

In the uncertainty, I opened it:

I would like to take a look via TeamViewer, would you be willing to do that? If yes, please download TeamViewer (https://www.teamviewer.com/en-us/teamvi ... -download/) and PM me your connection details.

It's probably something simple. Your code is correct and you followed all the steps perfectly. I'm hoping taking a look personally will help solve the issue.

If you look at the cmd screen, there's an extra command prompt for C:\Users\Chia (not \Chia&Fra). See it? She's in Chia&Fra, enters the echo cmd and it jumps to \Chia and then says path not found. Where's that coming from? Almost like the batch code doesn't like the ampersand in the path name.

Yup, that's it. I made a directory named \IMVUClient&Deep and the echo cmd returns the path name without the &deep.

C:\Users\username>echo %appdata%\imvuclient&deep
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\imvuclient
'deep' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.


Try renaming the folder to something without the &.
