How do I get rid of the error?

Error:
C:\Users\Raini>Bitcoin-qt.exe is not a Reliable WIN32 Application?
Looks like you missed my reply in the first page (post #20) since you only replied to Bob's post.

To expand it, it's showing that your cmd is currently working in "C:\Users\Raini" which is the default cmd directory if you launch it using start or hotkeys.
It should be working in the directory where Bitcoin-qt.exe is located or indicate the absolute path when launching bitcoin-qt.

 ::)Thank you very much. I really overlooked it. Shocked

C:\User\Raini>cd C:\Programs\Bitcoin

cd C:\Programs\Bitcoin>bitcoin-qt.exe -datadir=E:\Bitcoin -reindex

Thanks for your great help.
