But do I understand that you are able to launch WinSCP, when you see a left panel?

Yes.

No. The error message is fatal.

Also please try version 3.5, I've made some changes to the topic.

Version 3.5 has the same problem. Here's what it looks like in details:

1. If the system has a C: drive, program starts fine, including the "local directory" parameter (even if the C: drive is a CD-ROM drive with no disk inside).

2. If the system has no C: drive:

2.a. If the first drive known to the system (D:, E:, ...) is accessible, that drive will be shown in the left panel and program will start well with no error messages. "Local directory" parameter has no effect in this case.

2.b. If the first drive known to the system (D:, E:, ...) is not accessible (for example, D: is an empty CD-ROM drive), then the error messagebox "Directory 'D:' doesn't exist." appears. After clicking the OK button program quits immediately. "Local directory" parameter has no effect in this case either.

Oh, I missed it. Here's what I've found:
Seems that this parameter has little effect on the left panel. Even if this parameter is set, on connect left panel shows drive E: when it is the first registered drive above C: in the system. When I set D: as the (empty) CD-ROM drive, the error message appears. And only when I set the CD-ROM to be drive C:, left panel shows the specified local path (on drive E:\....).

Hope this helps.

Unfortunatelly it does not. I have no idea, what is going on. But do I understand that you are able to launch WinSCP, when you see a left panel? Or were you able to open main window all the time? Also please try version 3.5, I've made some changes to the topic.

I don't have the C: drive, and D: is the CD-ROM drive. Inserting a CD helps, and the Norton Comander view then shows D: on the left panel. Setting "Default directory is the home directory" checkbox doesn't alter the behaviour. Changing the CD-ROM drive letter to G: helps permanently, as the next letter E: is the hard drive that is always present.

Thanks for your report. Unfortunatelly I have no idea how to test this. I have C: on every PC I have and I cannot remove it as the system is there :-( Do you have any idea how I can I test this?

Probably there's no easy way. Windows XP does not allow me to change system drive's letter. I got an E: drive by an accident when installing Windows XP and can't change it to C: :-)
