Compile error

0693W00000GZPIJQA5.pngI always show this message when I compile.

I tried to reinstall the TouchGFX 4.18.0 many times but it always same happened.

I tried to run in Windows 11 and Windows 10, but it is not changed.

I tried after removing the MS visual studio, but nothing changed.

I have STM32H7B3I-DK.

But it is the same happened when I try to PC simulate.

It has passed 2 weeks since I bought this kit.

But I can't proceed anymore because of this error.

I need support to solve this problem.

In how directory is placed application, try short path without spaces for example c:/tproject/Myapp1

is on your disk free space,

try older version template if exist.

I tried it, but it is the same.

I remove the 4.18.0 and installed 4.17.0, it was the same.

I tried other paths, it was the same.

I solved this problem, but I have another problem again.

I found "rebase.exe" on the internet and copied it in the same folder with msys-1.0.dll.

And entered ".\rebase.exe -b 0x50000000 msys-1.0.dll".

It works now.

But I have another problem.

"Run Target" has an error now.​

@mattias norlander​ @Khouloud ZEMMELI​ 

What do you think? Msys or cygwin bug? Windows broken on user's machine?
