Newbie: keep getting errors on first simple watchface

-y is for your developer key  It looks like you don't have it set correctly.  Here's where you do that

Thanks!!

It is set in the workspace settings. If I set it in de user settings I get another error:

When I open settings, I see a JSON file with:

This one has been solved... but now I get another error:

Looks like the compiler can't open your key file:

ERROR: C:\Users\Gebruiker\Dropbox\Programmeren\Monkey C (Access denied)
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\Gebruiker\Dropbox\Programmeren\Monkey C (Access denied)

...

'-y', 'C:\Users\Gebruiker\Dropbox\Programmeren\Monkey C'

It seems that you've set your developer key path to:

"C:\Users\Gebruiker\Dropbox\Programmeren\Monkey C"

Is this a folder or a file? It needs to be the full path (including filename) to the key file that you generated with:

CTRL-SHIFT-P > Monkey C: Generate a Developer Key

If the path is set correctly, try placing the key outside of your dropbox, in case dropbox is somehow preventing access to the key.

This was the trick... thank you so much.
I assumed that the path was without the filename, as it is with the Java path.

No all works! Thanks!
