Cannot run program "PowerShell"

FranciscoLange — Tue, 03 Oct 2023 03:36:02 GMT

Hi, I just installed mcu xpresso IDE and I run into this problem everytime I want to debug a project with the active build configuration. I build it, and then, when I try to debug a message pops saying "Cannot run program "powershell": CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified. I tried to add Powershell to my path variable, if that makes any sense, but it didnt do anything, or maybe im doing it wrong. Any help is welcomed, thanks!

Have you installed PowerShell in some custom location? Can you start it from a Command Prompt? Note that if you changed the PATH variable, you'll need to restart any app that needs it updated, including MCUXpresso IDE. The error clearly indicates that the IDE is not able to find the needed program.

Not that Im aware of, i have it on %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\. After changing the PATH variable i restarted my pc and even reinstalled the IDE. Is there a way I can tell the program where to look for PowerShell? Thanks
