Can't launch Vice, error parsing command line options

When I try to run a simple basic program, I can't even get Vice to launch. I get the following output...

Determined D:\Projects - C64Studio\SetupTests\Loader.bas as active document Running build on D:\Projects - C64Studio\SetupTests\Loader.bas Build successful, 0 warnings, 0 errors encountered Start address $0801 to $0811, size 17 bytes Memory Map: Compiled to file D:\Projects - C64Studio\SetupTests\Loader.prg, 19 bytes Running D:\Projects - C64Studio\SetupTests\Loader.bas Calling E:\Emulators\GTK3VICE-3.6.1-win64\bin\x64sc.exe with -drive8truedrive +virtualdev "D:\Projects - C64Studio\SetupTests\Loader.prg" Hotkeys: Initializing.

Error parsing command-line options, bailing out. For help use '-help' Run exited with result code -1

The output regarding command-line options...

Calling E:\Emulators\GTK3VICE-3.6.1-win64\bin\x64sc.exe with -drive8truedrive +virtualdev "D:\Projects - C64Studio\SetupTests\Loader.prg"

These are the default command line options generated by the wizard.

It looks like the options: -drive8truedrive +virtualdev are garbage, and need to be removed. When I look at C64 Studio preferences, it has a list of what looks like hardcoded runtime arguments. How can i disable the true drive on option?

Sorry, is this not the support page for C64 Studio? I click on the community link for the tool, and this is where I'm brought.

The Community link at the top of the page leads to the main community. It's in the global site toolbar. Look near the bottom instead.

Ok, thank you.
