If you run a model from the IDE and you get a log that contains the message The system cannot find the path specified. in the GAMS log

you might suffer from a AutoRun setting in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor registry key. GAMS calls the command processor to execute the solver and the AutoRun variable might effect this. So you either remove the AutoRun variable from the registry key or execute the solver with a different ''solveLink'' method https://www.gams.com/latest/docs/UG_Gam ... OSolveLink, e.g. solveLink=2.
