[QE-users] Errors reading psudopotential files, "not a valid URI"

[Pietro Delugas]

Hello

could you try newer releases ? as far as I know people have been using 
qe in windows without such issues.

   To simplify things you could use the Quantum Mobile virtual machine. 
You can download it here 
https://www.materialscloud.org/work/quantum-mobile.

Otherwise on windows I usually work on  the linux subsystem (wsl), which 
is another virtual machine if fact.

Hope this helps - regards Pietro
