title: Issue getting ANSICON working on Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit
body: <p>I have been trying to get 1.50 or 1.40 ANSICON (https://github.com/adoxa/ansicon) working and have looked at sooooo many pages telling about how to install this:
  <a href="http://blog.mmediasys.com/2010/11/24/we-all-love-colors/">http://blog.mmediasys.com/2010/11/24/we-all-love-colors/</a>
  http://carol-nichols.com/2011/03/the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified/</p>
  
  <p>etc....</p>
  
  <p>So, I have my AutoRun set to "C:\usr\bin\ansi140\x64\ansicon.exe" -p and I also testing 150 but there was zero change.</p>
  
  <p>My entire team has this working with no issues but I cannot get this to work.. I still get the garbled junk on the command prompt:</p>

  <p>Can anyone PLEASE help me try to understand why I am having this issue when the rest of my team with the same laptops are not having this issue?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT from first comment:</p>
  
  <p>I tried what you asked and ende dup with this tab setting:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;tab title="ANSICON" icon="linux.ico" use_default_icon="0"&gt;
          &lt;console shell="C:\usr\bin\ansi150\x64\ansicon.exe" init_dir="C:\usr\git_workspaces\d2" run_as_user="0" user=""/&gt;
          &lt;cursor style="0" r="255" g="255" b="255"/&gt;
          &lt;background type="0" r="0" g="0" b="0"&gt;
              &lt;image file="" relative="0" extend="0" position="0"&gt;
                  &lt;tint opacity="0" r="0" g="0" b="0"/&gt;
              &lt;/image&gt;
          &lt;/background&gt;
      &lt;/tab&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the issue still persists</p>
  
  <pre><code>    ?[0m  ?[36m    &lt;catch event="error"&gt;
      ?[0m  ?[36m        &lt;submit next="/d2/exception/handleVoiceBrowserError.vxml" namelist="_event _message" /&gt;
      ?[0m  ?[36m    &lt;/catch&gt;
      ?[0m  ?[36m
            ?[36m&lt;/vxml&gt;?[0m
          ?[32mThen play the payment locations?[90m
                                                            # features/step_definitions/billing_steps.rb:360?[0m?[0m
          ?[32mThen caller hangs up the phone?[90m
                                                            # features/step_definitions/goodbye_steps.rb:1?[0m?[0m

  <p>I also seem to have the term-ansicolor gem so this should be working</p>
