The system cannot find the file specified. - In trying to create a new Project in RStudio 2024.09.1+394 , after giving it a Directory name as req

In trying to create a new Project in RStudio 2024.09.1+394 , after giving it a Directory name as required, I get a message "The system cannot find the file specified"
I have re-installed the same version several times with the same characteristic results.

Are you on a Mac? I have had troubles "finding" files due to MacOS restrictions, specifically allowing RStudio access to specific folders in the Files & Folders section of the Privacy & Security tab in System Settings.

I am actually on Windows 11 build ge_release 26120

I dont know if this may help
The acutual error message is as follow:
Error in file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) :
cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, ifelse(append, "a", "w")) :
cannot open file 'cards.csv': No such file or directory
