Windows installation wipes user path #238

Closed mosheduminer closed 4 years ago

mosheduminer commented 4 years ago

I installed q last night on my windows 10 laptop, and it was really cool. This morning, however, I discovered my user path wiped, with only q in the path. This is a significant problem for (and will probably not be appreciated by) anyone using windows.

The path issue is very odd, as 30% of q's installations are on windows and I've never heard about this before, and the issue doesn't happen on 2 windows 10 machines I've tested it with.

I've just released a new version 2.0.16. It would be awesome if you can check it out and see if the problem happens again.

Thanks for reporting this Harel

The path remains unaltered (aside from adding q to the path again), when I install the new version. I agree, it does seem rather odd. Thank you for looking into this. 🙂

Thanks for the reply, i'm glad it helps.

If this happens again, don't hesitate to reopen the ticket.
