Well, that message looks quite clear? The file is not in the specified directory, or it has a different name.

I'm not sure if I completely understand you but no... If the script is pointing to an exact location then you can't move that file unless you modify the script to point to the new location.

Change the directory where the software is pointing to. Or move the file.

I may be wrong, but i think this is a simple case of the file being absent from the Desktop. Please check. Hope it works!
