Minted fail with Miktex

[hjenryin]

Hi! I'm having some trouble to run minted with my miktex. I've read #419, which seems related, but doesn't help as the cases mentioned there doesn't really match my case.
The error is the same though:

Package minted Error: minted v3+ executable is not installed, is not added to
 PATH, or is not permitted with restricted shell escape; or MiKTeX is being use
d with -aux-directory or -output-directory without setting a TEXMF_OUTPUT_DIREC
TORY environment variable.

And here are some information that may be helpful:

$ miktex --version
One MiKTeX Utility 1.9 (MiKTeX 24.1)

This should rule out the possibility of minted not installed / added to PATH:

$ latexminted --version
latexminted 0.3.2
Python executable for the LaTeX minted package
Libraries: latex2pydata 0.4.1, latexrestricted 0.6.2, pygments 2.18.0

This should rule out the necessity for shell escape:

$ initexmf --show-config-value=[core]AllowedShellCommands[]                                                           
miktex-bibtex;miktex-bibtex8;miktex-epstopdf;miktex-gregorio;miktex-kpsewhich;miktex-makeindex;bibtex;bibtex8;extractbb;findtexmf;gregorio;kpsewhich;makeindex;memoize-extract.pl;memoize-extract.py;texosquery-jre8;latexminted

And I'm running with $ pdflatex .\nt.tex, which make TEXMF_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY irrelevant
TORY environment variable.

I wonder what the problem could be. Or are there any more logs that could be helpful for tracking down the problem?
Thank you so much!

I'd suggest updating MiKTeX to start with. Some of the changes since 24.1 affect shell escape under some circumstances.

After updating, the error persists. Do you have any further suggestions? Thanks!

• You could compile a simple document with just a single minted command or environment, and post the document plus complete log here.
• If you're using an editor to compile, you might try using the command line instead, since sometimes editors modify PATH.
• You could try something like \input{|"where latexminted"} (needs MiKTeX --enable-pipes) to see whether the document can correctly find latexminted, but then latexminted or minted is failing in some way.
