Iex, mix does not work on windows

I used elixir-websetup to install elixir on windows.

iex and mix does not work with this error

Cannot find file at 'c:\program files/erl9.2/erts-9.2/bin/erl.exe' (c:\program files\erl9.2\erts-9.2\bin\erl.exe). This usually indicates a missing or moved file.

I suppose elixir is somehow pointing to the wrong erlang directory even though duing the installation process i have already specified where it is.

Did anyone face this problem? How do you resolve it?

Just to share with anyone who face similar problems. Do check your system path to make sure erlang bin directory (in my case C:\Program Files (x86)\erl10.3\bin) is specified and delete all others that are wrong or irrelevant.
