any idea why the system cannot find the path specified even when I copy & paste it from windows explorer?

For your issue, you can look for below 2 solutions:
1. Check if the user you are trying for running the designer, has full access to run .exe on the machine as well as on SP Site

2. Try to use UNC path

For my better understanding, share your command or send it to psnagarkar@yahoo.com.
