Comment (by Phyx-):

 It's not looking for `Z:\\sandbox\\Vyse\\8.4.3\\bin\\` but
 `Z:\\sandbox\\Vyse\\8.4.3\\lib\\`.

 If that exists then download and run http://www.rohitab.com/download/api-
 monitor-v2r13-x86-x64.zip and go to `monitor new process` set process to
 `Z:\\sandbox\\Vyse\\8.4.3\\bin\\ghc.exe` and arguments to `--interactive`.

 let it run, then go to start -> save as and save the trace and upload the
 trace somewhere and link back here or attach it here. Note that the trace
 will contain some information about your computer like environment
 variable and possibly computer name.

 If you prefer not to upload the trace, then look in it for the call to
 `GetFinalPathNameByHandleW`

 If it's yellow then look for the `GetLastError` call following it. and
 paste the error.

 If it's not yellow continue down the log for what is trying to access the
 folder `sandbox\\Vyse\\8.4.3\\lib\\`. it should be yellow, paste the
 output of `GetLastError` after it.
