Helm fails on Windows 10

11/22/2018

I installed Helm (the package manager for Kubernetes) on Windows 10 pro through Chocolatey.

When I am trying to execute helm command on the command prompt (running as Administrator), I am seeing a prompt saying "this app can't run on pc". Closing the prompt is showing "Access Denied" on the command prompt.

I also tried downloading the zip from Helm's website and create a System environment variable under Path.

Any help is much appreciated.

Adding the resolution here. I am able to resolve it by deleting the helm folder under C:\program files and reinstalling helm using Scoop. Chocolatey may also help here to install helm.

P.S. Scoop and Chocolatey are package managers for Windows. Just like Homebrew is for macOS
