Parallel computing fails in 4.6.0

Installation and Setup
1

Hello everyone,
I am experience a problem with executing a parallel computation which ran without problems in 4.5.7.
I was executing the command:
dynare E_piobj_H2_FSde_DY_TP3_FF12.mod conffile=“C:\Rannenberg\config1.ini” parallel parallel_slave_open_mode console

I have pasted below the error message I am getting. I have also attached the config file (with .txt extension because I could not upload it with ini)config1.txt (184 Bytes)
I ave pasted below the error message I am getting.

Many thanks for your help :grinning:
Best,
Ansgar

Try passing the file name without the quotes

dynare E_piobj_H2_FSde_DY_TP3_FF12.mod conffile=C:\Rannenberg\config1.ini parallel parallel_slave_open_mode console

Thank you, this works! Apologies for the delay in replying, the machine was busy so I couldn’t try it before.
