windows-terminal-quake can't run wt.exe

[fmiqbal]

I may have problem on my end, not the project, because I can't manually open C:\Users\fikrimi\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe either

eventhough its there

Repairing the "Windows Terminal" Apps from Settings app, make it work again

Hey @m1k0lay! Thank you for reporting the issue :) Could you provide a translation, since my Russian currently is a bit rusty :D

"Couldn't find the specified file"

[flyingpie]

Thanks you for helping me out :)

• What version are you running?
• What version of Windows Terminal are you running?
• Could you add the following to the .json file: "Logging": true, then start again and see if a log file is created (paste here if so).
• Are you running the tool from a folder with a space in it by any chance? This should be fixed in a recent version.

@m1k0lay Could you try to run both apps from a folder with no spaces? It should work, but that way we can figure out if that's the problem.

@m1k0lay There have been a couple mentions of this issue by now, and I wonder if wt.exe is not fully available from all contexts on every machine.

Anyway, I added a setting called "WindowsTerminalCommand" in a new release. If you could try this, changing the path to the actual path to wt.exe:

{
	"WindowsTerminalCommand": "C:\\Users\\path\\to\\wt.exe"
}

This setting allows for configuring the path to wt.exe manually, so we don't need to rely on it being available through and environment variable.

The release can be found here ('windows-terminal-quake-1.2.0-2021-04-30_1752.zip'):

https://github.com/flyingpie/windows-terminal-quake/releases/tag/v1.2.0

[m1k0lay]

Can't start

[flyingpie]

@m1k0lay The path should start with "C:\Program Files", it looks like you're missing a set of slashes there.

Could you try that and see if it changes anything?

[m1k0lay]

Works! But i get this message
