Notepad ++ Compile Error

I'm getting the error below while trying to compile the PLC source code. I followed the tech bulletin 294 to configure Notepad++ and I believe I have my folder structure correct for saving files. I was able to get the PLC source code to compile via the windows command prompt. Anyone familiar with this error?

"C:\cnct\compile.cmd" "Centroid-Lathe-Standard-OAK-r2-Axis-Brake-setup2.src"
; about to start a child process: ""C:\cnct\compile.cmd" "Centroid-Lathe-Standard-OAK-r2-Axis-Brake-setup2.src""
CreateProcess() failed with error code 2:
The system cannot find the file specified.

================ READY ================

Well, it states that it cannot find "compile.cmd" in the cnct directory. Perhaps you were trying to run mpucomp.exe?

Here are a few screenshots that show the file locations and names. Also a screenshot of the Compile Execute command from Notepad++ which was copied and pasted from tech bulletin 294.

Rename "compile.cmd" to "compile.bat" and update the execute command to reflect that as well.

Hi Tom,

I tried to relabel the compile.cmd file to compile.bat and updated the execute command and got the same error as before.

Thanks,
Wes

Then the only other thing is that compile.bat is not in CURRENT_DIRECTORY.
