Hello everyone,
I am pretty new to the Elixir world and at the same time, I feel like I fall in love with the language, the ecosystem around it and the community.

Currently, I am trying to follow basic elixir exercise and will try to improve upon playing with the Phoenix server and maybe LiveView as well.

So far, I have setup my environment :

• Installed Erlang OTP (27.1) (Directly downloading the Windows installer from the website)
• Installed Elixir (1 .17.3) (Directly downloading the Windows installer from the website)
• Installed the ElixirLS VSCode extension (v0.23.1)
• Opening an Elixir project in VSCode (Basic exercise for Exercism : Hello World in Elixir on Exercism

At this point I have the following error :

When I take a look at the PATH that is logged, I can see the bin directories of both my elixir and erlang installation.

[Extension Host] Failed to run ‘elixir’ command. Current process’s PATH: C:\Program Files\Exercism;C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin;C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin;C:\Program Files\Elixir\bin;C:\Program Files\Erlang OTP\bin

(I trimmed the path logged of unnecessary other paths, to ease readability)

The ElixirLS VSCode extension doesn’t work and it’s a pain to not have a good code editor working properly.
I already tried to restart my laptop several times, uninstall and re-installing everything from scratch.

Do someone experience the same issue ? Can somebody have another idea that I cant see ?

Thank you for your help
