> d:/PROGRA~1/MODELI~1/RENDER~1/yafaray/bin/YAFARA~1.EXE -pp C:\Program Files\wings3d_1.5.4\lib\wings-1.5.4\plugins -f png wpc_yafaray-5980-3KCXSN.xml d:/tex
INFO: YafaRay 0.1.5
INFO: The plugin path is: C:\Program
INFO: Environment: Loading plugins ...
As it was done to the executable path - converted to short name, you need to do the same for the plugin path. That Program Files (with a blank space between) is causing the problem.

Thanks Micheus!!
I finally got this fixed!
I render my image!
I change all the folder names replacing the blank space with a " _ " and it worked!

Thanks!!

Look at the previous post by Micheus. He discovered that there is a problem when using long file names. As a workaround you can install YafaRay in C:\YafaRay instead of under Program_Files.

Sorry I did not know about this. Thanks for sticking with this so we can get these issues resolved. Without other people testing, it is hard to catch these things. Your reward will be that you will be able to render with YafaRay...

I will try to update the plugin soon if you do not want to install YafaRay in a different folder.

Well actually the problem with my situation was the blank space.
If the path had got blank space(s) it does not work. (you can try it)
I replaced all the blank spaces with a " _ " and it worked
