RE: Kodi 17.1 Installation problem with KB2670838 Win7 x64 - nogginthenog - 2017-03-23
Hoopy, pala66, and any others who are completely stuck: open a command prompt, type 'path' (without the quotation marks), press Enter, and let us see the output.

C:\Users\Kodi>Path
PATH=C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
Thank you

Now use Windows Explorer and check whether the folder C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ actually exists on your computer and whether it contains the program powershell.exe.

Have you changed your PATH variable?
At least %SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem should be in it. If you want to also add powershell it must be %SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0

Verified, yes the powershell.exe, and powershell_ise.exe both are there FYI.
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
Thank you

Hi Rechi, I did but no luck. I just tried your path "%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0"
Still no luck. Do I need to reboot the machine for the path update to take effect?
RE: Kodi 17.1 Installation problem with KB2670838 Win7 x64 - Rechi - 2017-03-23
Execute Path again in a cmd and check if it is equal to %SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0.
If not equal, you may need to reboot.
RE: Kodi 17.1 Installation problem with KB2670838 Win7 x64 - nogginthenog - 2017-03-23
I think %SystemRoot%\System32 needs to be in there too.

It has changed and does indeed match. Still no luck launching the installer same error. Tried rebooting anyway and the installer still fails. .

Does it matter where that gets inserted into the string?
Thank you

Please also tell me which versions you have tested.
Test 17.1 and the test builds I've linked to in this thread.

No, but to be tidy, put it second. Remember to use one semi-colon between each entry.

I added that in like this:
Running Path in CMD gets me this FYI
C:\Users\Kodi>path
PATH=C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32
\WindowsPowerShell\?v1.0
C:\Users\Kodi>
Still no luck.

There should be no question mark near the end there - that is not a valid character in a pathname.
