Trying to sign rip fails with "system cannot find the file specified" - FIXED (feel free to delete)

[theorist-complex]

Im really not quite sure whats going on here so I'll try to explain as best I can - and I apologize profusely if this is not the right place for this.

I have a CD Im ripping with EAC that has a data track at the end of the disc. TOC = 17 tracks

EAC perfectly rips the 16 music tracks. All my settings are good, as far as I'm aware.

When I go through with UberFLAC and try to sign, it rejects the eac rip as not uber and the only error or warning I can see is the following...

• Error: flac executable failed with 'The system cannot find the file specified'.

I don't know if this is happening because of the data track or what, but it looks to me like the rip should pass uber signing as it passes everything else.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Here is the relevant information....

Starflyer 59 - Gold (Extended Edition).log

Gold (Extended Edition).cue.txt
I have tried several different edits of the cue file, none have made a difference.

And here is the console output from UberFLAC itself....in both verbose and detailed modes

Verbose:

M:\Starflyer 59 - 1995 - Gold (Extended Edition)
01 - A Housewife Love Song.flac

• Error: flac executable failed with 'The system cannot find the file specified'.
  Starflyer 59 - Gold (Extended Edition).log

• EAC rip is not uber.

So, evidently it doesnt have to do with the data track or TOC...

I just tried on a new rip from a regular CD and got the same error

M:\RIPS
01 - Daily Wheatgrass Shots.flac

• Error: flac executable failed with 'The system cannot find the file specified'.
  Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey - Walking With Giants.log
  AccurateRip verification confidence 2 (v2).
  CUETools DB verification confidence 10.
  Test/copy CRC-32s match for all tracks.
  EAC log self-hash verify successful.

• EAC rip is not uber.

If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate the help.

I am a complete idiot.

flac.exe was not in my PATH (of course)

I was sure the last time I had set all this up I had set flac in my path, but evidently not.

Im so sorry to shit up the "issues" section with my idiocy. Please accept my apology and feel free to delete this dumpster fire. lol
