I have pointed out our rules to you before. One of them is:

(4) Do not 'bump up' questions if they are not answered promptly. No duplicate or cross-posting and do not report a post where your goal is to get an answer more quickly.


This is your third thread about your path problem. The other two are:

Please read our rules. And please follow them. You do not increase your chances of getting help by repeatedly breaking our rules.
