For me its difficult to copy/paste from the image. Can you modify and instead of an image, copy/paste the text and sround it with triple back tick

produces:

Doing my best without copy paste
Maybe you should not have spaces on a name of a file,
C:\Program Files\path\to\mapconfig_for_cars.xml
There is a space on Program Files
So you are saying that --conf C:\Program is the configuration.
In linux, we don't use spaces on filenames (that is why mapconfig_for_cars.xml is not mapconfig for cars.xml which would be referenced as mapconfig\ for\ cars.xml where \ is what we use to indicate a space on a file name.
I do not know windows, (last time I used it was in 1997) but then,I suggest:

• Remove the space of Program Files to ProgramFiles (I suspect is a bad idea as it sounds to me like a system directory)
• Copy the file C:\Program Files\path\to\mapconfig_for_cars.xml to the directory where you have map.osm, as the complete path does not have spaces
• Figure out in windows how to reference a file with spaces (maybe you have to double quote the name:
  "C:\Program Files\path\to\mapconfig_for_cars.xml"
• As a last resort, work with free open source operative system like Ubuntu

same problem. I am using a macbook and after the install, it is failing with:
Error opening lean:No such file or directoryFailed to open / parse config file
lean
When I try and specify the .config file, I get:
option '--conf' cannot be specified more than once

I am going through the source code to see where they hard-coded a directory to then create it on my machine.
