the reported error is most likely caused by starting promot.exe directly, which only loads the lisp image promot.dxl. The missing pathname is the environment variable PROMOT_HOME which is set to the installation directory in the start scripts (promot.bat, promot-server.bat, promot-gui.bat). Starting promot using the provided batch files should solve this problem. promot.bat starts promot, both kernel and GUI, or you could start both parts separately (using promot-server.bat and promot-gui.bat).
