OS: Windows 10
Install-type: Windows installer
Is the issue reproducible? Yiss

I get the same post-processing error regardless of NZB or script used:
Exit(-1) Cannot run script C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\scripts\Sample-PostProc.cmd

Log shows:

Any ideas?

Do you want to run a script?
This can only have been set by the user. Scripts don't just run, try checking the Config Categories page.
Or, try in Config Notifications if you maybe selected the script as a Notification script?

Yes, I'm trying to run one. I was initially trying to set up Sickbeard post-processing and that kept getting the error described in the first message. Could not find anything wrong in the Sickbeard setup so I tried the Sample-PostProc.cmd script which resulted in the exact same error. It doesn't look like any invalid parameters are being sent so I don't know what's going on.

Can you try sabnzbd 2.3.1RC1? It seems like you maybe have a path with a special character, which should be handled better in 2.3.1.

Yes, that worked! Thank you!
