[Eric Pettersen]

Really, other than meticulously check that the file and folders exist exactly as you typed them, and that there were no typos, we don’t have any further suggestions.  Sorry.

It is impossible for me to tell any of these things, because they are specific to your own computer.

Secondly, even if you give the location correctly, maybe you have to make the file executable, but that should be described in the installation instructions for Autodock Vina.
