Resolution

Solution A

1. Add the Alteryx bin path to your PATH variable in User Environment Variables. The path depends on whether you have Admin or Non-Admin Alteryx installed:
   • Admin: C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin
   • Non-Admin: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Alteryx\bin
2. Note: To access Environment Variables, search your Windows desktop for "Environment Variables", then click "Edit Your System Environment Variables" and follow the screenshots below:

Solution B

In some instances you may be presented with the following error once you've made the changes. This can occur if the path variables precedence need to moved above any oracle path set under system variables. User variable are specific to the logon user and are appended to system variables. 
 

The plugin "C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\plugins\AlteryxSpatialPluginsEngine.dll" could not be loaded: The specified procedure could not be found. (127)

1. Add the Alteryx bin path to your PATH variable in System Environment Variables. The path depends on whether you have Admin or Non-Admin Alteryx installed:
   • Admin: C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin
   • Non-Admin: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Alteryx\bin
2. Once added move the added variable to the top of the list.
