The documentation suggests that the ncrunch is in the path. There's really no indicator in the documentation or in the msi UI where the console tool gets installed.

I looked for it under both Program Files folders under ncrunch and couldn't find it. I was frustrated.

When I went to uninstall, I noticed that the company name is Remco. I had never noticed the company name before. I thought the company was NCrunch. :-D

With the company name, I was able to track down the remco folder and add it to my path. Now it works like the docs.

Please add the console tool to the path automatically or provide a clear signal somewhere as to where to find the tool.

Thank you for NCrunch. Fantastic tool.

Could you indicate where you felt the documentation implied this? It was never intended that it add itself to the path.

You're right, the documentation doesn't say that the tool is added to the path.

Rather, the documentation invokes `ncrunch.exe` as if it's local to the command line prompt -or- it's on the path.
But nothing in the documentation indicates where the tool is.

Reading the docs, I assumed "it must be on the path env", because it's simply invoked without a path.
Once I realized it wasn't on the path, I had no idea where to find it in order to invoke it.

Does that make sense?

Yes, thanks. I think I'll just amend the documentation to include the default install path.

Yes. That would be great.

Fyi, I even tried to uninstall and reinstall the MSI as I assumed I had "clicked too fast" and ignored the install path there.
There isn't an install path shown or an option to change it in the MSI.
