Error - Can't find "Scott Ice\ice\ice.log"

Does anybody have an idea what causes this error?

Run the exe as Admin and in Windows 8 compatibility mode. If this doesn't help create the folder manually.

In addition to above create the ROM folder manually and also the appData folder for the log file. Should work.

I'm also encountering this issue. Doing this for my Steam Link. I went ahead and created those folders and got past it, then it needed write access to my Steam/UserData/XXX fixed that. Now it needed backup location defined so fixed that, and now I'm to:

What I did as a workaround to the 'NoneType' error, was delete my shortcuts.vdf file. Then put in the actual path to my steam userdata folder in ICE's "config.txt" file. Ran ICE, it completed fine and worked after that. Sometimes it starts throwing that error again and I'll just delete the shortcuts.vdf file again.
