Weird error, "k" cmd broken on my VM ONLY in Powershell and won't reinstall properly

[davidfowl]

All of K commands were working on my VM both in Powershell and in the cmd prompt. Then I did an upgrade and for some strange reason "K" cmd stopped working ONLY in Powershell.

PS C:\Users\gblock> k
Program 'K.cmd' failed to run: The system cannot find the file specifiedAt line:1 char:1
+ k
+ ~.
At line:1 char:1
+ k
+ ~
    + CategoryInfo          : ResourceUnavailable: (:) [], ApplicationFailedException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandFailed

At @davidfowl's suggestion I cleaned my path, removed the environment variable and deleted the c:/%user%/.kre folder.

Then when I run the installation script from the cmd prompt I get the following output.

C:\Users\gblock>@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "i
ex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com

If I clone the repo and then manually run "kvm setup" the setup finishes. Closing Powershell and reopening then "kvm" works. But k does not and I get the same error.

This is a VM, and I can easily create a new one using the Azure image, but the behavior is troubling.

Has anyone else seen this after upgrade?

If anyone on the team wants to check out my VM, email me, glenn.block@gmail.com and I'll send them the info to login.

@glennc - do you still see this issue with latest scripts - If so could I can take a look at this VM. Let me know?
