@NevilHopley I've only ever seen this happen if you have some piece of code using the Windows "C:\Users..." style paths instead of "C:/Users/..." somewhere in your code. The error you're getting specifically highlights '\U' as being the problem, so if there's somewhere in your code where you've typed in "C:\Users...", make sure to swap it with the other slashes and try it again.
