System Cannot Find Path Specified

Hello and welcome.

" step by step guide" to what? This thread is a question about the MS-supplied vcvars...bat file having an error in it when run on the user's system, likely nothing to do with Qt.

I used ifstream, fstream, ofstream, and QFile, but none worked.

Used them for what? I don't see any connection between these calls and vcvars.bat issuing an error message.

@JonB sorry for the late reply, my problem seems different, but the error message is similar to mine.

So my problem is: I am using a basic c++ technique just create a text file, but it's always telling me that file not found or cant open. It worked when I downloaded the qt creator for the first time, but now it doesn't work. The common error message was "System Cannot Find Path Specified" I am going to upload a video about the problem and send the link here so you can see everything.

Sorry, don't have time to watch a 5 minute video. You are supposed to paste a minimal example of any code which goes wrong.

If you get the message "System Cannot Find Path Specified" it means exactly what it says: the file path you handed to it, probably to open for reading (you sure you are creating a file not opening a file??), cannot be found. Either you are passing an absolute path to a file which does not exist or, most likely, you are using a relative path. And since you don't know what directory that is relative to you must not do that, and must make a suitable absolute path to the file, e.g. with the help of QStandardPaths Class. Or you might use Qt resource paths if you want to supply a file embedded in your executable.

yeah after talking to someone, I came up with a solution... hopefully this works
