MinGW sh.exe must NOT be in your path

Question

Currently trying to setup my C development environment on windows with MinGW and it looks like CMAKE is giving me the following error:

sh.exe was found in your P         


        

Answer 1

Check you really do not have sh.exe in your PATH by opening a Windows Command Line and typing where sh.exe. If you have this file in your path, the command will return its path (then you should remove it from your PATH) else if windows return it was not found, try to clean up the folder CMakeFiles and a file name CMakeCache.txt somewhere inside your project folder.
