Windows 10: "The system cannot find the path specified."

[sorenbache]

I am a bit stuck here...trying to figure out why I get this when running mill. I have installed mill using scoop, but when I run mill I get the error

Installing 'mill' (0.9.6) [64bit]
Loading 0.9.6-assembly from cache
Checking hash of 0.9.6-assembly ... ok.
Linking ~\scoop\apps\mill\current => ~\scoop\apps\mill\0.9.6

'mill' (0.9.6) was installed successfully!
'mill' suggests installing 'java/oraclejdk' or 'java/openjdk'.

C:\Users\sorenbache
λ mill
The system cannot find the path specified.

I am sure something on my Windows must trigger this, but any suggestion on how to find out what to look for? I think I have tried the obvious with modifying the path to see if that helped.

Sorry, I have no experience with scoop, but the millw project works typically very good (renamed as mill.bat).

[sorenbache]

It is the exact same problem with millw - the problem seems to be with the actual mill-program

I have no idea what path cannot be found.

What's your used terminal? Is there some way to make the execution more verbose? (Something like sh -x) You could also try to comment-out/remove line 1: @echo off.

[sorenbache]

Thanks. I was a bit confused about the 0.9.5.bat file because it looked very binary when I looked into that file :-) But now I can see that the top part is regular batch-scripting. So with disabling @echo off I could now see that the culprit was my JAVA_HOME variable which was pointing to a non-existing java-folder and hence giving the issue. Thanks!
