I copied hledger.exe into the same folder of paisa.exe.

This is not supported, golang explicitly forbids the execution of binary from the current folder. I would suggest moving the hledger.exe to one of the folders under PATH. You can run echo $env:PATH from powershell to find the list of folders.

@ananthakumaran I copied hledger.exe into an existing PATH env folder. Same error. Also tried executing from within powershell, in case there was an issue with windows cmd shell. No change.

Any other suggestions?

@jafin did you delete the file (hledger.exe) from the folder where paisa.exe resides? if not can you share the error text assuming the text has changed?

@ananthakumaran thank you that was my issue. Removing the hledger.exe from the folder corrected the problem
