Answer 1

The second one was the answer, it doesn't accept space so it told me to change my user name (which obviously was a trouble), so in the path to save the application I use, instead of a space in my username a low-bar "Doctor_mcmuffing".

Answer 2

This is 2 probability that makes the error:

1. Maximum 260 characters for the file path. Here the excerpt from the Windows Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces documentation:

Maximum Path Length Limitation

In the Windows API (with some exceptions discussed in the following paragraphs), the maximum length for a path is MAX_PATH, which is defined as 260 characters. A local path is structured in the following order: drive letter, colon, backslash, name components separated by backslashes, and a terminating null character. For example, the maximum path on drive D is "D:\some 256-character path string" where "" represents the invisible terminating null character for the current system codepage. (The characters < > are used here for visual clarity and cannot be part of a valid path string.)

2. Your username is using some special unicode instead of ascii, something like userñame
