I am running an exe file created with python from the powershell.

I am running it by doing

& C\users\rey\.....\main.exe

what I want to is to just pass the main.exe to the command prompt to run the exe file but when I do that now I get the error that:

"main.exe is not recognized as a cmdlet function, function, script type ...."

How would I go about doing this?

CodePudding user response：

maybe because of missing Apostrophe ('), try this :

& 'C:\users\rey\.....\main.exe'

CodePudding user response：

Keep the path of the file or the path of the folder containing the file in system environment variables. Then you can use it directly.

CodePudding user response：

Either powershell or cmd need to know the complete path to your file, but if you don't want to repeatedly type that long & C:\users\rey\.....\folder\main.exe every time, you could set your powershell to work from your folder with:

cd C:\users\rey\.....\folder\

Then call the .exe with .\main.exe
