Failed to spawn Pandoc Error: spawn Unknown- Pandoc is installed. #108

Hi,

Windows 10, installed Panwriter, installed Pandoc locally (not for all computer.)

I'm getting the following error code.

I suspect it's because my Pandoc is installed locally. Is there a way to point Panwriter to the right Pandoc folder?

I haven't got a Windows install around to test... but pandoc is found in PowerShell or similar?

SolarDesalination commented 2 years ago

Oh, no it's not. It's been blocked by my administrator.. hmm. I thought being able to install it locally would let me run it anyway.

I'm not too familiar with Windows, but seems it should be possible... https://pandoc.org/faqs.html#the-windows-installer-does-a-single-user-install-rather-than-installing-pandoc-for-all-users.-how-can-i-install-pandoc-for-all-users

Maybe ask on the pandoc-discuss mailing list?

PanWriter should pick it up as soon as it's available on the normal command-line like PowerShell...
