Unable to get C:\Program Files\minikube\minikube.exe status

[yhqiucherry]

I am trying to install gofabric8 on windows 10 with Hyper-V.
I downloaded the gofabric8-windows-amd64.exe and renamed it as gofabric8.exe. Then I added it to my path.
minikube: v0.26.1
gofabric8: v0.4.176
kubernetes: v1.10.0

When I was trying the command gofabric8 start. The error message is:
Unable to get C:\Users*****.fabric8\bin\minikube.exe status, : minikube:
cluster:
kubectl:

Then I tried to install minikube first.
After installing minikube using choco, I ran the same command "gofabric8 start" with minikube already running. The error message is :
Unable to get C:\Program Files\minikube\minikube.exe status, : minikube: Running
cluster: Stopped
kubectl: Correctly Configured: pointing to minikube-vm at ...*(an IP)

Anyone can help with this issue?
