Error

[Kraemer94]

Trying to use sumatrapdf on a terminal server and seeing an error on viewing screen of file \?\C:\Windows\system32\0 not found screen shot attached. Anyone seen this before and know how to fix?

Looks like you've launched sumatrapdf.exe with \?\C:\Windows\system32\0 cmd-line argument which sumatra is trying to open but it doesn't exist

Strange thing though if I install Adobe Reader it works with no issues and
does not show that error path. We are trying to get away from Adobe is the reason we are trying to use Sumatra PDF reader.

@Kraemer94
Widows\system32 is where CMD lives so as mentioned it looks like a very bad startup defaults to CMD.exe ensure you install to a fixed location like user folder or program files but there is no way we can GUESS what you tried incorrectly

as requested what do the logs show is a good starting point

if it were a bad LNK you might expect Starting: '"C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount...\SumatraPDF\3.6.1\SumatraPDF-3.6.1-32.exe" C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount\Desktop\Apps\PDF\SumatraPDF\3.6.1\cmd.exe.lnk'
