System cannot find the specified path error while installing the Windows connector

Resolution

You get the BMC-DevTools folder after extracting the tdc-connector-windows-<build_number>.zip file. The BMC-DevTools folder and the .bat file to install the connector must be at the same level in the folder hierarchy. For example, if you extract the downloaded connector file in the C:\Connector folder, ensure that the downloaded .bat file is also present inside the Connector folder.

When you are installing the Windows connector, you get the permission denied error even though you are installing as an administrator.
