Umm, you are using Windows! You probably should find a way to include julia in your path, but that is a different issue, see here.

On Windows you will also need to add the directory containing the maxima.bat executable to your PATH environment variable so that Julia can find it. How do I do this?

Anyway, a version you can run from a julia repl:

```julia
cmd = `$(Base.julia_cmd()) --startup-file=no --project='C:\Users\aaron\~\code\HV04' -e "import HV04; println(pathof(HV04))"`
run(cmd)

```

It is calling a julia process from a julia process with the same parameters than before.
