Error running forever.js on Windows - “'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file”

See original GitHub issue

I am trying to run forever.js via the Windows command prompt and I get the following output:

>npm i -g forever

/my-project>forever start index.js

Log output:

'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

I think it’s something to do with the PATH that forever is using for the node binary, but I don’t know how to fix it…

I am having this same problem. If you install version 1.0.0 it works.

I’ve just added a test that tries replicating this issue: https://github.com/foreversd/forever/pull/1068 It works fine both locally (Windows 10) and in CI. If someone could provide a reliable repro for the problem, that would be fantastic.

That said, I’m pretty sure problem is caused by https://github.com/foreversd/forever-monitor/pull/145, but would be great if I could have a reproduction to confirm before doing any changes, that hiding that change behind an option would indeed help.
