Chocolatey-coreteampackages: (ghostscript) Executable not in path

[knorx]

Expected Behavior

After installation of the package ghostscript I have the corresponding executables in path.

Current Behavior

Exceutable can only be run with absolute path.

Possible Solution

Generate a shim during package installation using: https://chocolatey.org/docs/helpers-install-bin-file

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Install ghostscript package
2. type gswin64 in command line, it will not find any command.

Your Environment

• Package Version used: 9.27
• Operating System and version: Win 10 (10.0.17763 Build 17763)
• Chocolatey version: 0.10.15
• Install/uninstall gist: choco install ghostscript

I am not sure shim would suffice as it uses some parameters which could always be changed upstream. Check out the link generated by installer:

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

I have the same issue, it seems it would be best to add the gs/bin folder to path system wide

I'm having this problem also, I need to be able to always run the latest version using gswin64c.exe without having to specify the exact path as this changes with each version
