Default Error while trying to edit settings

So I pretty much started from scratch with the software for my MS. I am at this step:
Step 1
Install software onto your laptop.

Run the installation software for both MegaTune and EasyTherm and allow the software to install to the default locations.

Create a File called "EFI" on your C Drive and copy the zip file of your desired version of MSnSE into that file. Then un-zip the file into the "EFI" folder.

Step 2
Configure MegaTune to 'see' the MSnSE software.

1) Open the MSnSE folder in "EFI" and run the "copyini" application. Once the file has been copied close the DOS window.

2) Then run the "edit-settings" application and make the following changes
i) Change the line "#unset MSNS_EXTRA" to # set MSNS_EXTRA" by highlighting the "un" and changing it to a double space.
ii) Change the default "# set MSI" (or whatever it is )to "#unset MSI"
iii) Click on 'File' then 'Save'
iv) Then close the Notepad window.

When I try to run "edit-settings" it gives me an error that says "The system cannot find the path specified. My patience with this MS is getting thinner and thinner everyday, especially now since the Delaware Dyno event is 6 days away...

I too am beginning to hate my MS. Anyway, the way i did it was i downloaded the MS pack from the autotune website and then used easytherm 5.0 which is nearly headache free and no need to make folders and such. To change the settings i just opened settings.ini with notepad and did it manually myself.

So I download EZtherm 5.0 and I must say, I like it. 1 problem though, WHAT VALUES DO I USE FOR MY IAT? In the Braineack DIY turbo write up it says for a 99 parallel with no R7, use "xxxx" for the IAT Bias. Does that mean I use nothing for my IAT settings? I only saw values for CLT, which I have set at
Celsius temps
0 6000
40 1100
80 320

Another thing, EZtherm 5.0...can I burn write to the MS from EZtherm, or do I still need to use MS downloader?

Most people keep the stock MAF connected and run a the GM AIT directly to the MS. In that case use 2490 for the bias. Which is what I recommend doing. Use the GM AIT default values selected from the menu bar.

For the CLT you'll want R7 removed, and I really don't know what bias to use. I believe people are using 1544.

The temps should match in MT after you burn and copy the .inc files to your project folder. If they don't, you'll need to alter the CLT bias only. Alter the bias a few hundred and try again. Simply copy the .inc files over, and then open MT until it's within 5* of the AIT (car needs to be dead cold). Then reflash that new .s19 file. Then report back and tell me the correct ****
