Problem with Windows installation

[sbacelar]

I had no problems installing chemacs on Linux and switching between different emacs distributions with the same config. But on Windows 10 I only can open emacs default (typing emacs) and when I do emacs --with-profile scimax it opens emacs but does not recognize the option --with-profiles. I have a .emacs file at $HOME. This is my .emacs-profiles.el config:

(("default" . ((user-emacs-directory . "$HOME\.emacs.d")))
 ("scimax" . ((user-emacs-directory . "$HOME\scimax")
                 (custom-file . "$HOME\scimax\init.el")))
("spacemacs" . ((user-emacs-directory . "$HOME\spacemacs")
                       (env . (("SPACEMACSDIR" . "$HOME\.spacemacs.d")))))
("spacemacs-develop" . ((user-emacs-directory . "$HOME\spacemacs\develop")
                       (env . (("SPACEMACSDIR" . "$HOME\.spacemacs.d")))))
("spacemacs-config" . ((user-emacs-directory . "$HOME\spacemacs\develop")
                       (env . (("SPACEMACSDIR" . "$HOME\my-spacemacs-config")))))
("doom" . ((user-emacs-directory . "$HOME\doom-emacs")
                      (env . (("DOOMDIR" . "$HOME\doom-config"))))))

I'm not sure if you have fixed this- also I'm not going to be that helpful, as I don't use windows. But your file looks fine to me. Off the top of my head though have you tried any of the following:

• Try running command prompt in your $HOME directory.
• Make sure you're running it as the user where your .emacs is. Or more importantly:
• Check your .emacs is actually chemacs, and the install didn't fail do to there already being a .emacs file.
