Hi Afulli, There's a neat Windows trick for this. Even though you can’t resize the error window or copy text using the mouse, you can copy the whole error message—including the missing file path—by simply clicking on the error dialog to focus it and then pressing Ctrl+C. Once done, just paste the contents (for example, in Notepad) and you should see the complete text. Give that a try and see if it reveals the full file path! Regards, ChatGPT
