RH8 HOPS - 1. Path appears valid, but to something that is not

Hi all,

I’m using RH8 SR17
Hops version: 0.16.23

I’m encountering an error message when using Hops:

  1. “Path appears valid, but points to something that is not Hops-related.”

However, it works just fine in RH7 (Hops v0.16.2). Any ideas on how to make it work in RH8?
Is there any additional information I need to provide?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE @AndyPayne

I just restarted my computer today, but I found that Hops is no longer working in RH7 either.

(Hops v0.16.2)
