Call Ghostscript on Windows by its calling name?

What should I do to invoke Ghostscript on Windows by its calling name? I added the Ghostscript bin folder to the Windows PATH and Path variables, but it does not work, neither "gswin32c.exe" nor "gswin32c". Logging out and then logging in did not help either. How to solve this problem? Maybe I'm using the wrong call name?

There are several possibilities. To list the two most common:

  • c:\full\path\to\gswin32c.exe should always work. For 64-bit systems, use c:\full\path\to\gswin64c.exe .
  • After a new installation using the standard Windows installer, you may need to reboot before the updated environment variable %path% .
  • Open the cmd window and (assuming your Ghostscript installation is in c:\path\to\gs ...), enter set path=c:\path\to\gs\gs9.02\bin;%path% . From the same CMD window, you can simply use gswin32c to run Ghostscript (use gswin64c on 64-bit Windows) ...
