Why is MotorControl Workbench failing to open projects?

[DSchu.9]

Due to hardware limitations, I must run MotorControl Workbench through the command line. However, running the executable WB_Console.exe fails to open valid projects.

Command issued:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics\MC_SDK_5.Y.4\Utilities\PC_Software\STMCWB\WB_Console.exe" -f example.stmcx -generate -Q

This command ideally begins generation without the GUI. However, I immediately get this error:

The project was created with a legacy Workbench release 0.0.0. Please use that version to load the project.
Generation with error.

Given that the example.stmcx is a perfectly valid file (and functions on other hardware), this error is problematic. However, the bigger problem is that the generation will succeed occasionally. I cannot isolate why and have run several tests, including shutting down the system, introducing new (both valid and invalid) files, resetting the software, closing the console.

Regards,

After even more testing, I determined the issue was file paths. While this doesn't address the bugs of occasionally working, it did function enough for my needs.

My solution: have the .stmcx file path be full (C:\Users\Username\...\example.stmcx)
