Hi sorry i ignored this, but i think this was fixed a while ago

This is where raku was last installed on my machine

PS C:\downloads> get-command raku

This is from the latest installer

So seems fixed

That being said, winget is becoming more popular on windows so i think this is where raku should be at on windows

PS C:\downloads> winget search raku

Two things to note: The installer in the above screenshots is the Rakudo (without Star) installer.
There is no obvious backwards compatible upgrade path to change share/perl6 to share/rakudo. That's why not much happened yet in that regard.

@coke - Fair enough... As I do not have permissions in https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo , please (if YOU have permissions in both repos.. ) transfer this issue to https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues

Again, please remember, the Star distro is 100% Rakudo at the core AND only adds some modules on top to the Rakudo distribution!
