Make sure you do *not* have a / character at the end of the paths for the 
KICAD_PTEMPLATES and KICAD_SYMBOL_DIR environment variables. When you start 
KiCad you can find these variables and their paths under Prerences -> 
Configure Paths. If you see a trailing / in either, or both, of these 
environment variables remove that final /.

If you did have the trailing / in the paths of these variables you need to 
roll back the projects to a previously known good version. You can then open 
them with the latest version of KiCad and go through the remap process.

This is a known issue that needs to be fixed before 5.0 is released.

On a side note, you might see a trailing / for the KISYS3DMOD environment 
variable. That is there by default when you first run KiCad. I would remove 
that extra character for consistency. So far I have not noticed any negative 
effects when the path for KISYS3DMOD ends with a / character.
