set alias for Power BI
My Windows 10 Pro has Anaconda Powershell Prompt, and its $PSVersionTable is: Name Value PSVersion 5.1.19041.1682 PSEdition Desktop PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0…} BuildVersion 10.0.19041.1682 CLRVersion 4.0.30319.42000 WSManStackVersion 3.0 PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.3 SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1 I have to “run as Administrator” in order to run commands in Anaconda Powershell Prompt. I’m unfamiliar with its commands though, except to activate a conda environment. After I’ve activated a conda environment (that’s customized for Microsoft Power BI Desktop), I can start the program at C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftPowerBIDesktop_2.105.664.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\bin\PBIDesktop.exe . Since that path is so long, I want to create a program alias. I followed the https://www.itprotoday.com/windows-78/how-can-i-create-program-alias in Registry Editor. But why do I get the error: start : This command cannot be run due to the error: The system cannot find the file specified. At line:1 char:1 start PBIDesktop + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Start-Process], InvalidOperationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperationException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StartProcessCommand P.S. if I click on the shortcut icon for Power BI after activating the conda environment, Power BI will still show a Python script error. Apparently, it still needs to be started from the conda environment.
