I suspect that you have code like

cd C:\Menus and things\somedirectory

Here the exact destination is not important for my explanation but what is important is that the command form of cd was used and that there is a space in the directory name.

When you use command form then spaces mark the end of each argument. Use function form instead

cd('C:\Menus and things\somedirectory')

Answer 2

[ANKUSH PUJARI]

Thank you for your answer. Problem is resolved. Actually that error means there is no such directory present in specified location or if it presents software don't have access to it. 1. Check whether the specified directory present at specified location. If it's somewhere else just put it at specified location. 2. Check this directory and TEmP folder is accessible by user profile you are using to run software. If not, allow the access by setting. for that refer to answer for such question which explain that in details.

I'm confused why you're answering your own question by giving yourself a set of advice.

"Actually that error means there is no such directory present in specified location"

Well, yes that's exactly what the error message says.
