“Path not found” with subst
The subst help display this
Associates a path with a drive letter.

[drive2:]path Specifies a physical drive and path you want to assign to
a virtual drive.

Which is not really helpful when I encounter this
c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VC>subst Y: “c:Program File
s (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VC”
Path not found – C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VC
Several searches on Google points to things like moved folder or incorrect path, with is not my problem, that is when I figured out what works:
c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VC>subst Y: “c:Program File
s (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VC”c:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0VC>
Just remove the trailing ” from the path. It’s understandable from a DOS viewpoint that you have to supply a directory name not a path but I have been copying and paste Windows paths for years now without any problem. It looks like Microsoft forgot to update this corner of its apps
