The error you're seeing:

X FileSystemException: Cannot resolve symbolic links, path = 'C:\Users\nnnnnnnnn\OneDrive??? ??????\flutter\sorc\flutter\bin\flutter'

(OS Error: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect., errno = 123)

🔍 What’s Causing It?

This issue is caused by invalid characters in your folder path — likely from your username or the folders inside OneDrive having non-ASCII characters or symbols that Windows and Flutter can’t parse correctly.


How to Fix It (Step-by-Step)

1. Avoid OneDrive or Special Characters in Path

Move your Flutter SDK folder somewhere simple and safe, like:

C:\flutter

Do NOT install it inside:

2. Update Your Environment Variables

After moving your SDK:

  1. Open Start → Edit the system environment variables

  2. Click on Environment Variables

  3. Under System variables, find Path → Click Edit

  4. Add: C:\flutter\bin

    1. Click OK on all dialogs.

    3. Restart CMD / VS Code

    Close and reopen:

    • Command Prompt

    • VS Code

    4. Run Flutter Doctor Again

    In your command prompt, run: flutter doctor

    ⚠️ Note:

    • If your user folder contains non-English characters, consider creating a new Windows user with a simple name like devuser.

    • OneDrive often causes permission and path issues — better to avoid it for development tools.

  • Blacklisted phrase (1): ???
  • Long answer (-1):
