Getting Help

Here are the steps that I followed with screenshots. This did not work. Please advise.

  1. All releases - The Go Programming Language

  2. I selected the Windows option.

  1. I selected next and then it said that it downloaded.

The first time I downloaded it the download did not work, so I uninstalled it and tried again with the repair option. Yes, I uninstalled and restarted the computer (twice to get this to work).

I am unable to open go when I search for it in Windows search bar.

I also cannot open the exe file that is located here:
C:\Program Files\Go\bin
The exe file is located here even after I uninstall the program and restart the computer.

Please offer advice and help. Thanks!

If the msi method cannot be installed, then you can try the zip method and set the environment variables.

You can’t launch console binaries from the Windows search bar. In the Windows search bar type “cmd” and press enter on “Command Prompt”. In the terminal that opens, type go version and press enter and you should see something like this:

C:\Users\ddavi>go version
go version go1.22.2 windows/amd64

Like what Dean said. I would reinstall Go and try doing this in PowerShell or CMD. If you cant find the binary. You might need to check the path thats set.
