When I attempt create a New Project after launching a clean install of Captivate (current version), I am presented with 2 error messages, both which are indicating a file path my machine does not have:

D:workspacereleasedevsourcecomponentsprojectsnslidesCPInt…

Failed to create Cache folder: Falling back to the default locationCaptivate Cache

Followed immediately by:

Failed to create default project caceh folder: falling back to %temp%

(Yes, I noted the typos ).

Neither the [Retry] nor [Cancel] buttons have any effect in either dialog.

Thinking that Captivate is pointing to the wrong location for the cache, I attempted to change that in Edit > Preferences. Except, as soon as I click Preferences, a third error dialog appears:

An unexpected error has occurred, which may cause Captivate to behave unexpectedly. You can restart Captivate with backed-up project.

When I click [OK], the Error Report dialog appears, and then Captivate crashes back to the Windows 11 desktop:
