Thanks. I'm afraid I've never encountered something like that, but I can suggest a few things just in case....

Since arc.cmd is practically a one-line script, what do you get if you try to run the `racket` executable directly, like so?

  racket -t boot.rkt -e "(anarki-windows-cli)"
I've found pretty much just one thread online where people reported a similar issue (https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/2323). People attempted various fixes in the thread, and they didn't work for everyone.

Some of the approaches they took:

- There's a diagnostic tool which some people found limited success with. It would fix the location of their temp folder. Then a few days later it would break again. Here's a link to the comment that links to that tool: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/2323#issuecomment-31...

- One person gave detailed instructions for diagnosing and fixing permission issues, in case that's what it is: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/2323#issuecomment-41...

- It seems it might be some difference depending on whether the account you're doing this with is roaming or an administrator. At least, a lot of people in the thread thought it would make a difference. Maybe your command prompt works with Arc because it's a different user.

If you find out any more about what's going on, I hope you'll keep us in the loop. :)

Of course, since you already have this working via the command prompt, it's understandable if you prefer not to mess with it.
