We'd be able to give you better help if you quoted the actual error. But my guess is that you're running into a known issue involving long path names. The part of the link process which creates the .cof file doesn't deal well with the long name that comes from deeply nested folders. The usual advice to fix the problem is to put your program directory somewhere close to the root, like C:\ROBOT.

Or you can just ignore the error, because you don't actually need the .cof file in order to load the program into your robot.
