Error: IDEasy failed with exit code 255

The folder D:\projects\IDEasy\workspaces\test surely exists.
I am clueless what file the system cannot find. IMHO it is the intellij command since the script was not created on installation.
So my guess is this is caused by #366
Do I have to delete all my IntelliJ installations from software folder and reinstall?

While we are in BETA we can work this way but be aware that once we are out of BETA we cannot cause such bugs in official releases so we have to learn to care & think more about the impact of our changes.

OK. Confirmed. This was due to issue #366 and PR #540.
Workaround: Delete ${IDE_ROOT}/_ide/software/default/intellij (after closing all IntelliJ instances) and reinstall IntelliJ with latest IDEasy.
