Could you provide the exact command line that you're using to trigger this error?

[bachii1010]

txt2al --source=D:\CAL\ --target=D:\AL\ --rename --extensionStartID 70070000
This the command line we are using

[waldo1001]

tried to put quotes?

[bachii1010]

Yes we tried both single and double quotes but the same error.

[StanislawStempin]

Could you please try the following one by one:

1. Source and Target both on the same drive: C or D
2. Do not use the --rename option
3. Convert first half of the objects

If you reach step 3) and are still getting an error please try to repeat it each time converting half of the previous objects and ultimately trying to identify which file(s) is causing the issue.

i have tried the steps but still the same error and i am only checking with one object still i am getting the error see below:

Also attach is the file which i am using to convert
exportedObjects.txt

I could convert successfully using the June Update bits. Is the D drive by any chance a mapped network drive or otherwise special in any way?
Otherwise I'm out of ideas on what could be wrong here. Looking at .NET source code this particular exception is thrown if the path to the file starts with a colon, has an invalid drive letter and then colon or has any colons beyond the drive colon.

Thanks for sending the converted file.
It should be al file after conversion correct?

Also we are also using june update.

Can you give the command line u have used to convert the file?

[StanislawStempin]

I placed the file you sent in C:\CAL and then used: txt2al --source=C:\CAL\ --target=C:\AL\ --rename --extensionStartID 70070000

Correct, the outcome should be .al but GitHub doesn't allow attaching these so I renamed to .txt.

[bachii1010]

i have did the same thing see below still the same error

can you suggest what we are doing wrong.
Also one more info we have downloaded the june update with a VM so we are doing this in that VM.
Is it a problem in VM.

Is there a procedure how we create a VM in Azure for tenreffie for june update or is it a normal procedure?

[bachii1010]

can you please give me an update about my above comment?

@bachii1010 It looks like you are running an older version of txt2al, which doesn't yet supported named parameters --source and --target.
Could you try running using the old command line syntax?
txt2al c:\CAL c:\AL -rename

The reason why it fails is that it thinks that the string --source=c:\CAL is a path to folder and therefore it fails.
