I am trying to follow the tutorial here Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL): Step-By-Step Instructions to Create an Advanced Custom Study Function

I am unable to open Notepad++ at Step 4. Please see error in attached image. However, I see that the application "notepad++" exists in the specified folder

How do I proceed? Can I just manually open notepad++ from the folder and start my work?

Make sure that the path to that executable is correct. It is set in "Global Settings >> General Settings >> Paths >> Text Editor Path and Filename". Refer to the following:
General Settings Window: Text Editor Path and Filename (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Paths >> Files and Folder Paths)

You can just open Notepad++ separately, you do not need to do it through Sierra Chart, that is just a convenience. Also, you can use whatever editor you like, you do not need to use Notepad++.

It isn't that important I guess.

But the error path in the message log (see previous image) is different to the path I have specified in Global Settings, where the path is correct.

Sorry, when selecting the editor for a study, that editor is set through "Analysis >> Build Custom Studies DLL" then selecting "File >> Select Editor". Make sure the editor you want is selected in there.
