I moved my files to the root, and everything looks similar to yours. The spice command prompt still shows the same error as before that I showed you, but the path it indicates only goes to the content folder and not the modules. So it appears that it recognizes the change in location of the .dll files, but why cant it continue and open? strange. Are there any other settings in spicecfg that I'm missing?
I've tried right clicking the contents folder and ensuring "Read only" is not checked, but once I apply and hit "Ok", it seems to always revert back to checked.
