how do I force choosenim to download and install the win x64 version? After fiddling with it for a day to do anything at all it installs the i386 version.

It should download x64 version if you're on win64. Are you sure you're not on an older choosenim? This is the PR that introduced this feature: https://github.com/dom96/choosenim/pull/168

How do I remove choosenim completely from windows?

I removed the choosenim dotfile/dir toolchains etc., the .nimble bin dir. cleaned out the path environmental variable. Downloaded a fresh 1.4.8 zip and put it in a warm place and ran finish.exe

The result of running nim is:


>nim
     Error: getAppFilename failed. (Error was: Unable to read C:\Users\...\.choosenim\current. (Error was: No installation has been chosen. (File missing: C:\Users\...\.choosenim\current))

So, what's left and where?

Run where nim or which nim (Linux/MacOS) to see where the nim comes from.

For completeness, it's get-command nim on Windows (PowerShell).

Ah. That did it. A stray Nim found and removed.

Thanks.

Out of curiosity, where was it and how did it end up there? Was it through a custom Nimble directory setting?

In a bin of my home dir where I keep all the little things I make. How it got there, I don't remember/understand, it where just the nim executables. My guess, choosenim's fault.

Thanks.
