Hi @bardo,

Either add the path to processing-java to the PATH Environment variable or give the full path to it to the command configuration might help.

Cheers

Hi @bardo,

> [@bardo](#):

I mean in the build config for processing to add the full path to processing\_java.exe so it will be calling

> [cmd: [‘DRIVE:FULLPATH\_TO\processing-java.exe’,

Shouldn’t be relevant which drive it is installed…
