"Invaldi GCC executable path. Please provide a valid path." error while compiling simulation libraries in Vivado 2020.2 Windows version

 Description: In Vivado 2020.2 Windows version, when simulation libraries are compiled for a 3rd party simulator using GUI and GCC executable path is not given (this option can be ignored as per UG900) , following error occurs:  "Invaldi GCC executable path. Please provide a valid path." 



Solution: To resolve the issue, you can use gcc executable path of the vivado. Vivado installation comes with gcc executables which can be found at following path:- <Vivado_installation_path>\2020.2\tps\mingw\6.2.0\win64.o\nt\bin

This issue does not occur in Linux if we don't provide gcc executable path, could be a possible bug in Windows version.
