knife-windows is definitely installed but bootstrap still fails

I have definitely installed knife-windows. Chef gem list shows knife-windows but when I run bootstrap I'm told it's not installed.

sudo -u user -H sh -c "cd /home/user/chef-repo/; chef gem list"
sudo -u user -H sh -c "cd /home/user/chef-repo/; knife bootstrap windows winrm $VMIP  -r 'role[build_server]' -x 'domain\user' -V -P 'password'"

Output

First command shows: knife-windows (0.8.5, 0.8.3)

Second:

INFO: Using configuration from /home/user/.chef/knife.rb
WARNING: Hostname containing 'windows' specified. Please install 'knife-windows' if you are attempting to bootstrap a Windows node via WinRM.
Doing old-style registration with the validation key at /home/user/.chef/myserver-validator.pem...
Delete your validation key in order to use your user credentials instead

Is there something obvious I'm missing?

Cheers

Looks like your ChefDK setup is incomplete, because your sudo command calls /usr/bin/knife which looks like a rubygems-based knife, not ChefDK.

Please make sure to add ChefDK to the $PATH of the user, as described here: https://docs.chef.io/install_dk.html#add-ruby-to-path

Depending on your setup, you also want to use sudo -i to execute the command within a login shell.
