Hello,

the path of the go.exe binary is quite suspicious. C:\Windows is the windows system folder and system32 - as far as I know - contains some partly legacy stuff.

Valid locatios for programs are "C:\Program Files" or "C:\Program Files(32)" (out of my memory - since I am sitting in front of a Linux box @moment)

To what locations do your GOROOT and GOPATH put?

BR,

Roland

hello,

on system windows there are both kind of installing to set up and put :

1) download and install the go exe for install in the default folder c:/programs

2) download and install the sources files of go for put it in c:/windows/system32 for the GOROOT

3) download and install the sources files of go for put it in the current folder of the user so for my install this is the following : c/:users/ghisl/ thus this is GOPATH

4) copy and paste go.exe and gofmt.exe from c:/programs/go/bin/ for create the folder /bin in both sources files GOROOT and GOPATH

5) finally my GOROOT is c:/windows/system32/go/bin/go.exe and my GOPATH is c/:users/ghisl/go/bin/go.exe

after this explaining i wait a real help for my problem therefore thanks you in advance to help myself fully use my GOROOT and my GOPATH,

Regards.

please simply follow the official installation instructions here, https://go.dev/doc/install, and select the Windows tab. This will set up everything correctly, avoiding the trouble you might have gotten into by installing individual bits and pieces into directories there they do not belong to (windows system, etc). Please note that there are multiple binaries required for a working toolchain.
