jason-simmons · 2018-02-26T18:59:24Z

The flutter tool is looking for where.exe. Is %windir%\system32 in the PATH in your environment?

xclusivzik · 2018-02-27T15:25:06Z

How Do fix it

goderbauer · 2018-02-27T17:43:35Z

Sounds like your Windows installation is messed up.

In a command prompt, type echo %PATH%. Does the output contain your system32 directory (usually C:\Windows\System32)? If not, you should add the system32 path to your PATH environment variable following a guide from the internet, e.g. https://www.java.com/en/download/help/path.xml.

Also: double check that where.exe exists in your Windows\System32 directory.

xclusivzik · 2018-02-27T18:12:43Z

yes where.exe exists in my system 32 folder

xclusivzik · 2018-02-27T18:13:47Z

In a command prompt, type echo %PATH%.

What is the output of this?

xclusivzik · 2018-02-27T18:16:33Z

that is the output

C:\Windows\System32>echo %PATH%.
$PATH:~/.composer/vendor/bin;C:\Users\MFM lekki\AppData\Roaming\Composer\vendor\bin;C:\xampp\php;C:\Users\MFM lekki\AppData\Roaming\Composer;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Users\MFM lekki\flutter\bin.

tvolkert · 2018-02-27T18:18:05Z

Ok, cool - you want to add system32 to your path.

xclusivzik · 2018-02-27T18:19:32Z

done that

NathanaelA · 2018-02-27T20:36:16Z

@xclusivzik - Just a FYI; You might have to restart windows. Sometimes you can close and reopen the command window and the path will take effect for that command window; but the rest of the OS will not have the updated path.

Then after your restart; open a command prompt and just type where and make sure it runs.

xclusivzik · 2018-02-28T15:57:33Z

ok done that and this showed

The syntax of this command is:

WHERE [/R dir] [/Q] [/F] [/T] pattern...

Description:
Displays the location of files that match the search pattern.
By default, the search is done along the current directory and
in the paths specified by the PATH environment variable.

Parameter List:
/R Recursively searches and displays the files that match the
given pattern starting from the specified directory.

/Q       Returns only the exit code, without displaying the list
         of matched files. (Quiet mode)

/F       Displays the matched filename in double quotes.

/T       Displays the file size, last modified date and time for all
         matched files.

pattern  Specifies the search pattern for the files to match.
         Wildcards * and ? can be used in the pattern. The
         "$env:pattern" and "path:pattern" formats can also be
         specified, where "env" is an environment variable and
         the search is done in the specified paths of the "env"
         environment variable. These formats should not be used
         with /R. The search is also done by appending the
         extensions of the PATHEXT variable to the pattern.

 /?      Displays this help message.

NOTE: The tool returns an error level of 0 if the search is
successful, of 1 if the search is unsuccessful and
of 2 for failures or errors.

Examples:
WHERE /?
WHERE myfilename1 myfile????.*
WHERE $windir:.
WHERE /R c:\windows *.exe *.dll .bat
WHERE /Q ??.???
WHERE "c:\windows;c:\windows\system32:.dll"
WHERE /F /T *.dll

Now that where.exe is found, give flutter doctor a go

xclusivzik · 2018-02-28T16:51:09Z

same flutter has exited unexpectedly

tvolkert · 2018-02-28T17:23:56Z

the original error was that it can't find the executable for where -- is that still the error?

xclusivzik · 2018-02-28T17:32:06Z

where has been found
