I just installed Golang on my Windows box today, and I have my %GOPATH% set. However, when I run go install {...} for various binaries, Windows can't find the executables. My %GOROOT% is C:\Go, the default .msi install location.

PS C:\Users\{user}\Development\go> ls
    Directory: C:\Users\{user}\Development\go


Mode                LastWriteTime     Length Name
----                -------------     ------ ----
d----        12/11/2015   9:02 PM            bin
d----        12/11/2015  11:08 AM            pkg
d----        12/11/2015  11:08 AM            src
C:\Users\{user}\Development\go>echo %GOPATH%
C:\Users\{user}\Development\go


Do I have the environmental variables set incorrectly?

  Windows can't find the executables


If you mean the executable built from your go programs (by go install) and delivered by Go in %GOPATH%\bin, all you need is to add to your PATH environment variable %GOPATH%\bin (in addition of %GOROOT%\bin)

set PATH=%PATH%;%GOPATH%\bin
cd %GOPATH%\src\path\to\a\go\project
go install


Then you can call your executable, and Windows will find it in %GOPATH%\bin (the C:\Users\{user}\Development\go\bin folder)
