I didn't get rid of iex on Windows; I simply\n> added ielixir as a shortcut for the iex.bat file. That is the only file\n> that I aliased because it's the only one that presents a problem with\n> Powershell. I mean to say that a person can use the ielixir shortcut from\n> either a powershell terminal window or the old windows cmd terminal window\n> but you can't type \"iex\" in the Powershell window--you need to type\n> iex.bat. So I added ielixir as an alternative for that case.\n>\n> It only applies when someone downloads the ChocolateyNuGet package and it\n> is just a secondary shortcut; iex.bat and the rest all still work. I think\n> I can add iex.bat to the path as well--I say \"I think\" because of the\n> Windows shimming technology I'm using to add the shortcut to ielixir. I can\n> double check this.\n>\n> I could swear that I had sent something to the Elixir-Lang-Talk mailing\n> list mentioning this additional shortcut but I can't seem to find it now.\n>\n> At any rate, this is just a secondary shortcut that I added to the\n> ChocolateyNuGet package--it only applies on Windows and it only applies\n> when someone has run the CNG installer. And, as I say, I'm not forcing\n> anyone to use ielixir; it's there solely as a convenience for those who\n> want to run Powershell as their terminal console.\n>\n> What do you think Jose? I can remove it (as I say I added it because\n> Windows users should be using Powershell for a terminal and when you use\n> Powershell for a terminal iex has a different meaning) or I can see if I\n> can add iex to the path as well. I could also document it if you want.\n>\n> Just let me know how you want to proceed. Sorry if this caused you any\n> inconvenience Bruce!\n>\n> Onorio\n>\n> —\n> Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub\n> <https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir-lang.github.com/issues/599#issuecomment-140567431>\n> .\n>\n"}}
