I apologize if this is a duplicate, my last post does not appear to have been posted. 

Is there any known issues with LAStools on Windows 10 since the last update? When running it in the command prompt the functions do not allow for options any longer.  Below are examples of errors I am generating while trying to figure out what is wrong. 

C:\Lidar_Data\Kucera_Raw\UTM17N\Plots>las2las -i plot_75.las -o plot_75_t.las -keep_class 2
error: unrecognised option '-keep_class'

C:\Lidar_Data\Kucera_Raw\UTM17N\Plots>las2las -i plot_75.las -o plot_75_t.las -epsg 6595
error: option '--input' cannot be specified more than once

Has anybody experienced errors like this before? As you can the second one is nonsense, only one input is listed. I have not found an option that works anymore.

Hello,

It seems you are calling a different program. Those are not error messages generated by las2las from LAStools. Maybe somehow the equally named, functionally similar, but in many ways different las2las from libLAS is suddenly being called instead of las2las from LAStools. 

Regards from Costa Rica,

Mr. Isenburg,

Thanks for the insight! The error is related to a batch file I had made so I could process data where it is saved. I had recently needed to use GDAL functions form OSGeoW64 and included that as well, which I now see have the libLAS functions as well. Removing that from the path has fixed the issue.

Hopefully Costa Rica is treating you well. 

V/r,
