I don't know where this error comes from (the single quotes). I thought running softIoc.exe is a simple way to check the installation.

Running 'softIoc -h' may help us a little, it displays the compiled-in path to the base/dbd/softIoc.dbd file rather than using it and showing it to us in an error message.

Windows understands forward slashes and internally we use them rather than back-slashes; in the softIoc output I would expect to see back-slashes in your path to base, but forward slashes in the /dbd/softIoc.dbd part that gets appended to point to the .dbd file, so this error looks to me like there are single quotes in the setting for the install location somehow.
