Butler not working. Followed all steps exactly. ???

So, I installed Butler via the Itch app and added it to PATH exactly as the guide said to do. Yet it still tells me the command doesn't exist when I try to run "butler -V" in command prompt.

Can't find any answers anywhere while trying to google it. Everything I can find is about mac or linux or is a case of someone just trying to launch it from the itch app. Every bit of instructions I can find are EXACTLY what I already did.

As far as I can tell, I've done everything correctly. It IS added to my PATH, seemingly correctly... and yet cmd refuses to recognize it. I can't figure out wtf is going on.



I have tried adding it to PATH in multiple ways, even multiple folders, including adding "butler.exe" to the end, none of it works.

The screenshot looks wrong. To add butler to the path you need to append its folder to the "Path" variable (not "butler"): Path -> C:\some_path1;C:\some_path2;C:\path\to\the\folder\that\contains\butler

Also be aware that you have to reopen you cmd-window to take changes on environment-variables to take effect.

That's... what I did. The folder that contains Butler is also called Butler. And it's directly on my C drive... so I would think the path C:/Butler would be correct?

I also tried D:/Itch/apps/butler when it was installed there, but that didn't work either.

like I quite literally clicked on the .exe and selected "Copy as Path" so like.

I also JUST NOW literally tried adding it to another folder with a different path.

C:/Itch/apps/butler

Added THAT to PATH. Still doesn't work.
