I agree but I can't figure which one. I don't have a windows server to try - I'll see if I can find one in case it is related.

Looking for the quarto path 

PS C:\Program Files\RStudio\bin\quarto\bin> .\quarto.cmd --paths
The system cannot find the path specified.
C:\Program Files\RStudio\bin\quarto\bin\
C:\Program Files\RStudio\bin\quarto\bin\..\share
PS C:\Program Files\RStudio\bin\quarto\bin>

it seems to me this is working fine.

I don't think this comes from Quarto. I think you may have a path in your PATH environment variable that is not a valid path, or does not exists. You should check all the value in your PATH environment variable.

I found the error mentioned in here

You are correct. I put a question on SO, because the site you referenced didn't seem to work, and found a bad path. There was one related to my RTools, so I was hoping I could also get that working by fixing it.

I still don't have the the "quarto" option and it looks like render just used rmarkdown.

Now it looks OK

It seems to still throw the warning. Did you remove an empty or invalid Path element ?

I really don't know what is happening. I believe this could be something in your environment. I don't think we had any other report of this by someone else. Quarto within RStudio is working fine - I still cannot reproduce this.

Thanks for all you help. I learned a lot even though the problem is not solved. I did find two obsolete entries in my path system variable. That seemed to have the most promise. I thing somewhere there is a control file that is pointing the path to the wrong place. I need to think about where that might be happening.
