I just downloaded Chef Workstation, and tried to follow the online documentation to just learn the ropes.
I was unable to run the cookbook as described here:
https://docs.chef.io/quick_start.html
The error I get is:
C:\opscode\chef-workstation\modules\chef....\embedded\bin\ruby.exe: No such file or directory -- C:/opscode/chef-workstation/modules/chef/../../bin/chef-client (LoadError)
I was using the CW Powershell shortcut created by installing Chef Workstation.

I saw that nothing was added to Path, so I added the following:
C:\opscode\chef-workstation\bin
C:\opscode\chef-workstation\embedded\bin
As I noticed that ruby is only in that second path.
I normally would tinker to find out what is missing/borked, but in this case I don't want to forget that this is the experience out of the gate, and give back to the community to let them know a casual/new user would have this issue.
