Emacs: using geiser and Racket

My .emacs file contains this line of code:

(setq geiser-racket-binary "C:/Program Files/Racket/Racket.exe")

My steps:

  1. M+x run-geiser
  2. Select racket
  3. I get errors, "Searching for program: No such file or directory, Racket.exe"

Getting this to work has been a hassle and, maybe at this point, I am just missing something ridiculously easy, but I am just not seeing it.

Picture of my error messages and file path

I am using a PC.

Without getting a chance to look at your PC and see if you if you actually have Racket installed at that location, I suspect the problem is that you are using forward slashes (/) rather than back slashes (\) in your path. Try changing the line to:

(setq geiser-racket-binary "C:\\Program Files\\Racket\\Racket.exe")

Another solution would be to use racket-mode to edit your files rather than Geiser. It seems to do a better job at editing Racket files in Emacs.
