Notice: telnet.exe is there.

In powershell pane, telnet works

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

DHowett · 2020-06-30T19:19:44Z

Can you share the output of echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE% in a working and non-working window?

chris-elvidge · 2020-06-30T19:32:14Z

Command Prompt (working) says AMD64
Windows Terminal cmd.exe (telnet not there) says x86

I've put a new pane in WT with "telnet.exe" as the "commandline" - that works

chris-elvidge · 2020-06-30T19:33:53Z

OIC WT is running 32 bit cmd.exe

DHowett · 2020-06-30T19:34:40Z

Wow, okay, this is really strange. 1.0.1811 switched to hardcoding the location of CMD in such a way as to make this impossible.

Can you share...

your settings.json (in a gist)
the output of (powershell) get-appxpackage microsoft.windowsterminal
the output of (powershell) $Env:PATH?

DHowett · 2020-06-30T19:35:33Z

OIC

yeah, that's the weird part. That shouldn't be happening by default! 😁

Thanks! So, this might be weird, but can you delete commandline: cmd.exe from your settings file? Just that one -- keep the rest.

That line "commandline" : "cmd.exe" doesn't get refreshed when terminal closes

DHowett · 2020-06-30T20:26:21Z

Unfortunately, yeah, we have a bit of a blind spot there. I can't determine why Terminal was finding a 32-bit cmd.exe before any others, but... hm

Can you run (from powershell): get-command cmd.exe -all? It will report all of the CMDs it finds.

chris-elvidge · 2020-06-30T20:29:41Z

Try the new cross-platform PowerShell https://aka.ms/pscore6

PS C:\Users\celvi> get-command cmd.exe -all

CommandType Name Version Source

Application cmd.exe 10.0.18... C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe

PS C:\Users\celvi>

chris-elvidge · 2020-06-30T20:40:05Z

I have a 32-bit installation of Win10 on D: drive. Running D:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe gives processor architecture = x86
But it shouldn't find that, anyway.

DHowett · 2020-07-02T23:21:55Z

Thanks for all the info. I'm gonna close this as a /dupe of #6684 (PR) with a note that we need to figure out how to migrate people who are missing the updated locations.
