Windows Cannot Find File in E2B Launcher

Hello. Started E2B Launcher.exe v1.1 and wanted to run QEMU Menu Test but received error:

Same happens for other tools and document files in other tabs whether running in restricted
or administrator mode. Test with QEMU is grayed out too when I run Make_E2B.exe and after
clicking on red arrow and seeing shell window completing the process the USB drive remains with
same user files it had before with no formatting and changes being done to it:

 

Launcher should be run from the USB drive not from the C: drive.

'Test with QEMU' button will be greyed out if E2B has not been installed correctly on the USB drive (press Refresh button if required).

If clicking large red arrow does not proceed to wipe, partition and format the USB drive and then copy files to it, then maybe the USB drive is faulty or is a cheap fake? It appears to be 54MB  (MB not GB !!!!)  what sort of USB drive is that !!!!

An old generic no-name USB drive that had software on it that I purchased online. Here's a H2testw result:

I noticed this mentioned on download page:

Use a USB drive of 8GB-2TB. Drives larger than 2TB may use 4K sectors and\or may not be legacy bootable.

Does it mean that E2B won't work with USB drives with capacity less than 8GB?

yes! How do you intend to put any ISO files on it when most ISO files are much larger than 60MB anyway?

E2B assumes you have a big enough USB drive to at least hold the E2B files (600MB+ or 100MB+ without the 500MB CONTIG.ISO file).

 

@steve6375 I am putting ~2MB VeraCrypt rescue disk file on it. I already tested with DSL Linux ~50MB that I burned different tool in QEMU Simple Boot and it worked.
