Post From: New/Open Custom Studies File Doesn't Respect Location of notepad++

I have experienced exactly the same thing, so thanks for finding the solution. This is still a bug in the latest version (2757) as of today.

I made a new install at Y:\SierraChart-Stage5\
In General Settings > Paths I see Y:\SierraChart-Stage5\NPP\notepad++.exe (see attached image)

When I go to Analysis > New/Open Custom Studies File, I get the correct window at Y:\SierraChart-Stage5\ACS_Source (see attached image)

But when I select a file and click Open, I get the Message Log pop-up with the following message:
"2025-05-20 14:02:37.977 | Error creating process Y:\SierraChart\NPP\notepad++.exe. Windows error code 2: File not found. *
2025-05-20 14:02:37.977 | Error creating the Advanced Custom Studies editor process. *" (see attached image)

Note the Y:\SierraChart\NPP\notepad++.exe in the error message. The path reflected in the General Settings is clearly not the path the process uses. The process is incorrectly looking in the default location, not the actual installation location (which is correctly reflected in General Settings).
