Similar to this problem, I cannot open the serial let modem example for nrf9160dk_ns. I tried moving my nrf install to the root but did not help. I am using Windows 10. The problem appears to be that the path to the nrf libraries contains a back slash which is incorrectly interpreted as an escape character. I am not sure where to change this path. See error output below.
How can I work around this? I want to evaluate the nrf9160 for use in a production product but this is the third bug so far that has slowed me down, it is making me worry!
