Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Hi, @Vineet_Jk!

It seems like you're running that on Windows. Did you install OpenSSL? There's a section explaining how to do that in the link @yanokwa has shared: https://docs.opendatakit.org/encrypted-forms/#install-openssl-windows-only
