The issue arose after update to 0.32. There is indeed no the specified path "F:\IPFS Desktop\repo.ipfs\config", and there is no folder "repo" in the installation directory. Now this is the old installation directory. After the problem first pop up I reinstalled IFPS into another directory but the error message at start up still refer the old path.

The problem is solved with clean uninstall by Revo Uninstaller.
