Hello,
I downloaded windows.zip file, extracted the contents somewhere and tried launching q via cmd. Result is as per screenshot 1. I also tried setting setx QHOME and setx PATH then launch q but it failed. I went to check the q folder and realized the q.exe file in the w32 folder is missing. I was installing on windows 10 pc.
Kindly advise. Thanks!
Your QHOME is incorrectly set and there is no need to modify your path variable if you are going to use the full path of the q executable anyway.
Further - The only way you can get that error is if you set your QHOME to be in partial quotes
set QHOME=C:"
q
'C:"/q.k. OS reports: The filename,
Lastly - your version of q is ~3 months old and the latest version contains some important fixes.
If I were you I’d delete QHOME from your env vars, reset PATH to the original state, delete your w32 folder[s], download the the latest package and restart the ‘install’.
If you have’t already seen, instructions are here - https://code.kx.com/wiki/Tutorials/Installation.
It should be pretty simple - download package, unzip, set QHOME to the folder where q.k lives, set PATH to the folder where q.exe lives and execute q.
Post back if any further issues
