[chef] Commands not found after running windows_path in Chef run

Hello Everyone,

I’ve encountered a scenario where after the windows_path resource is ran in a Chef run, other resources can't find items currently on the Windows path.  For example the batch resource fails with “STDERR: ‘cmd.exe’ is not recognized as an internal or external command.”  If you don’t have the windows_path resource in your recipe, the batch resource can find the cmd command on the path.

Has anyone seen this?

Thanks,

David Williams
