I have a Windows 8 machine and I just ran the pandoc-1.13-windows.msi installer. The installer did not let me choose an install path, but it finished without error. I cannot run pandoc from the command line so I'm guessing I have to update the path. But I have no idea where pandoc was installed. Where is pandoc installed?

after restart pandoc should be included in the path so you can use it in everywhere in cmd – petermeissner Aug 04 '15 at 12:45

With recent* versions of Pandoc, the program is installed for the individual user in their own profile at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Pandoc, which, for most users will be C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Pandoc.
If you choose to install for All Users, Pandoc is instead installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Pandoc (you can change this location by clicking on the Advanced button).
In either case, when the Windows Setup program has finished installing the software, it should print a message showing the version of Pandoc and its installation path.
*Tested using the 64-bit installer for Windows 7 with Pandoc versions 1.19.2.1 to 2.1.3.

@StephenJacob I've just re-installed from the latest setup file and have updated my answer. Hope this helps. – Anthony Geoghegan Apr 20 '18 at 11:49
