I'm having trouble with WinPython Command Prompt.exe, it launches a terminal window with that message in the title, and afterward launching any binary (like python) will end up with that exact message repeated.

It may be similar to this #1262 (comment)

So try to replace in env.bat (in "echo %winpydirbase%\scripts\env.bat"):

  • this:
 echo ";%PATH%;" | %FINDDIR%\find.exe /C /I ";%WINPYDIR%\;" >nul
if %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 (
   set "PATH=%WINPYDIR%\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5;%WINPYDIR%\Lib\site-packages\PySide2;%WINPYDIR%\;%WINPYDIR%\DLLs;%WINPYDIR%\Scripts;%WINPYDIR%\..\t;%WINPYDIR%\..\t\Julia\bin;%WINPYDIR%\..\n;%PATH%;"
   cd .
)
  • per that
echo ";"%PATH%";" | %FINDDIR%\find.exe /C /I ";%WINPYDIR%;" >nul
if %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 (
set PATH="%WINPYDIR%\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5;%WINPYDIR%\Lib\site-packages\PySide2;%WINPYDIR%;%WINPYDIR%\DLLs;%WINPYDIR%\Scripts;%WINPYDIR%..\t;%WINPYDIR%..\t\Julia\bin;%WINPYDIR%..\n;"%PATH%";"
cd .
)

That is replacing ;%PATH%; per ;"%PATH%";
All shall come from something annoying in "%PATH%" variable, but I can't reproduce the error.
would you mind copy/pasting the result of your "echo %PATH%" ?

That didn't fix it unfortunately
C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;

I'm out of clue.. re-extracting "Winpython64-3.11.5.0dot.exe" in a path with a black doesn't create errors on me
Maybe there can be:

  • something odd related to Windows Vietnam, like in the japanese Windows \ separator becoming ¥
  • something odd related to a special character in your username.

If you click directly on "scripts\cmd.bat" or "scripts\WinPython_Interpreter_PS.bat" and then it works, it may give a clue.

The problem seems to be in the "PATH" variable after you clicked on the WinPython Command Prompt.exe , but I have no idea what exactly it is, sorry.

if so then may I ask what do the launchers actually do then? maybe I can execute the process manually to see what went wrong

All launchers except the powershell one do use the script /script/env.bat to get the correct path

They can call it indirectly, via script/env_for_icons.bat or another pre-layer

If it helps, 2016-01/WinPython-64bit-3.5.1.2Zero worked fine on my machine.
2016-02/WinPython-64bit-3.5.1.3Zero fails with 'cscript' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
All versions from 2016-03/WinPython-64bit-3.5.2.1Zero forwards fails with 'C:\windows\system32\find.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Getting rid of NSIS and vbs were two great moment of liberation from technical debt, after the ControlPanel on Qt

I will close the issues now then ^^
I do hope the false positive issues get solved soon - it would suck to finally get rid of the debt and then only able to put two packages back up
