Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/14161

What is the issue?

Im attempting to open claude code via cmd in my documents folder. Using the
ollama launch claude command.
But im getting the error:
Error: claude is not installed, install from https://code.claude.com/docs/en/quickstart.

I´ve added the bin folder for claude code and npm manually to my PATH.
I´ve tried renaming said folder and checked the permissions.

claude and ollama commands work and are recognized individually within cmd.

I have no idea why ollama won´t recognize claude code as being installed when started within this specific folder (a python projects folder with a few py-files).

Relevant log output

What's the value of %PATH%, and where is claude installed?

Claude code is installed in the default folders. " C:\Users\Bob.local\bin\claude.exe"
used the powershell command to install it!

PATH values:
"C:\Users\Bob.local\bin\claude.exe"
"C:\Users\Bob.local\bin"
"C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\npm"

when i install CC with "curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.cmd -o install.cmd && install.cmd && del install.cmd" in the python_project folder i cant run CC from the cmd terminal. But from powershell it detects the CC installation with commands like claude doctor.

Edit: I think a .bat file named CLAUDE.bat in the directory is the culprit for things not working correctly.

Does removing or renaming the BAT file resolve the issue?

It would seem to resolve it yes. What a random issue!

Did you rename it or delete it?

I just renamed it and things worked after that.
