Update quickstart.md - Windows installation #69

Closed josh-phil closed 2 years ago

The Windows executable needs to be in the home directory with the .aws folder otherwise it will not run. Updated line 66 with this distinction.

Hi there! Sorry for the delay getting back to you. On Windows, as long as the executable is moved to any directory listed in the PATH environment variable (echo %PATH% to see those directories), or the PATH environment variable is updated to include the directory containing aws-runas, you should be able to run the program without this change.

I don't have a system running Windows handy, but my testing under the Wine emulator and conferring with other folks who do run the tool under Windows indicate that placing the aws-runas executable in a directory listed under %PATH% works as expected.

The issue you're describing in this PR sounds strange, and am happy to help try to figure out what's happening that is requiring you to run the tool in this manner.
