hi,
I came across this post:"Drush finds but does not read aliases.drushrc.php on Windows" which describes exactly the problem I'm having with the current versions of Drush 5 for Windows. I couldn't find a similar issue in this queue. I only found it in the "Support » Post installation" area.

Thanks

try drush sa @dev and see what it prints. It looks to me like the alias file is being read (you could prove that by adding a print statement inside the alias file); it's just that for some reason, the uri is not being set correctly.

I just tested this and for whatever reason it's now working with the latest dev release.

Thanks

I believe that I am experiencing the same issue. My aliases don't work unless I call drush using its full path. Screencap attached.
