'"erl.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

Question

'"erl.exe"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Elixir and Erlang were running fine until today when I did a version update. I don't really have access to a good version manager for Elixir since I use a windows computer so I just ran the Elixir install wizard to uninstall and reinstall to update the version. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times as well as checked the elixir forum for solutions (there was 1 solution, it didn't work) for solutions. I need to get Elixir up and working pretty quickly as I am about to start on my first contract.

Answer 1

Instead of using

erl <'command details'>

Try to run using "./" prefix so it become

./erl <'command details'>

in the cli.

Answer 2

I am also using windows and have added elixir, erlang and erts paths in env. But still, it is giving me the same error. I am not getting the error. I did not update the version. My system was slow hence I deleted some files, but they were explicit. They didn't have anything to do with the elixir folder.
