Unity “The associated script can not be loaded” and “Win32Exception: The system cannot find the file specified”

Unity apparently can’t handle apostrophes (single-quote ') in the directory name of the editor. You need to get rid of the apostrophe in your directory name. Once you make that change, Unity should be able to build the scripts as intended.

Edit: This has been fixed in more recent versions – see https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/scripts-do-not-get-compiled-if-the-unity-editor-path-contains-apostrophes for reference
