Please set a path not containing these special characters in OPSHUB_TEMP environment variable and try again. ``` ### Cause This error occurs when TEMP, environment variable in Windows contains '!' at end of directory in path, i.e., `C:\Users\xyz!\AppData\Local\Temp` or ';' anywhere in path, i.e., `C:\Users\xyz\App;Data\Local\Temp`. ### Solution The user can follow either of the following steps: 1.
