Error: exec: executable file not found in %PATH%

[LoZeno]

On windows, tldr is unable to execute the commands once selected:

>tldr winget

winget

Windows Package Manager CLI.
More information: <https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/package-manager/winget>.

  Search for a package
   winget search package

$ package -> terminal
? winget search terminal Yes
exec: "winget": executable file not found in %PATH%

The error message is incorrect since winget is, indeed, in my PATH

Hmm, I need to test this but in theory it just calls exec.Command and it should be able to run if it's in the PATH, is it only specific to this tool or a general issue?

So far I have this behaviour only for winget, docker and gnu commands installed with MinGW like ls:

> tldr ls

ls

List directory contents.
More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ls>.

  List all files, including hidden files
   ls -a

? ls -a Yes
exec: "ls": executable file not found in %PATH%

They are all in the PATH, e.g. winget is installed in ~\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\winget.exe and when I print my PATH I see ~\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps in it.

Thanks for the detailed info @LoZeno it seems like we additionally add \c while running such commands, I'll look into this. Or if you prefer adding this feautre (btw, this should only be compiled for windows) feel free to do so.
