Markdown-preview-enhanced: "princexml" is required to be installed in VSCode

[ajstadlin]

I installed markdown-preview-enhanced extension and Prince in VSCode in Windows. When I try the PDF (Prince) option from the Preview, VSCode displays the Error message "princexml" is required to be installed in VSCode.

You need to close vscode completely and then restart it. If it still
doesn't work, restart your computer. Check whether "prince" command exists
in powershell or not, if not, add it to system path.

I'm sorry, but I really have been trying to figure out how to "add the command to system path" in windows 10, and still can't learn how to do it.

Prince is not a command in my system, I restarted everything but Atom still returns me the same "princexml" message when trying to export the md preview to PDF. So if you could give any advice on how I add it as a system path? Pretty please? :)

EDIT

Ok, I finally managed it after choosing the right words to search. Anyway, if other ~dumb~ newbie users like me stumble upon this topic, take a look at this page to easily enable prince as a command in Windows 10. Now it's working.

@cyranodesale glad that it works for you now. Feel free to ask questions. Thank you.

I have a solution

1. download and install prince ， https://www.princexml.com/download/
2. add the command to system path , C:Program Files (x86)Princeenginebin
3. restart vscode

Thanks to cyranowebdev and luojie1024 , I finally fix it.
As luojie1024 said, after install prince, it's necessary to add the'C:\Program Files (x86)\Prince\engine\bin' to the system path.
As cyranowebdev said, I find how to add it to the systme path.

First open the 'advanced system setting(高级系统设置）'，
then open 'Environment Variables(环境变量） ' in advance tag(高级） ，
then click "Path" in 'system variable' and ‘user' variable’,
at last paste 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Prince\engine\bin' in both Path.
Restart vscode.
