Android Testing/Compiling (could not set current directory (errno 3)

[AbdullahAlsayed]

Hi everyone,

When I compile or test the game on android the compiler fails at this stage:

"C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c "subst W: "Z:/gamename\Android\Default" && W: && cd \com.company.game && "X://android/runner\gradle\gradlew" build  assembleRelease  lint  ""

* What went wrong:
Could not set process working directory to 'W:\com.company.game': could not set current directory (errno 3)

One thing I noticed, Game maker is not creating the sub directories it used to make before (W, Z, X) partition things.

I'm using IDE v2.3.0.529 and Runtime 2.3.0.401

Thanks!
