When trying to create a string literal

  "C: \"
the closing quote is escaped, which must be avoided.

    And you reverse the slash, then the quote will not be escaped. - Visman

    "C:\\" - that's it. '\\' is a backslash character. - andy.37

you escape quotes, but you need to escape slash. Replace so

  "C:\\"

or

  "C:/"

    There is also a variant of using raw string literals ( C++11 ) to exclude escapes:

     #include <iostream> int main() { const char* s = R"(C:\)"; std::cout << s << "\n"; }

    C: \
