No, your path is wrong. When you type a command from the cmd prompt,
if the executable isn't in the current directory, Vista searches
through the directories listed in the PATH environment variable. For
some reason it looks as though your PATH is incorrect. Try typing SET
PATH from the command prompt, and you should see a list of directories
(separated by semi-colons). The list should include
C:\windows\system32. For example, my PATH variable has the value:
Path=C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\Sys tem32\Wbem;C:\Program
Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90
\DTS\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files
(x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files
(x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\;C:\Program Files
(x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VS
Shell\Common7\IDE\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\;C:\Program Files
(x86)\Subversion\bin;C:\PROGRA~1\DISKEE~1\DI
SKEE~1\;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0 \;C:\Program
Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files
(x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files\NCover\;C:\Prog
ram Files (x86)\Nmap
If you want to edit your path, you might find it easier to right click
on "Computer" on your desktop, choose "properties", then "advanced
system settings", and then on "environment variables". You can change
the PATH variable for all users in the lower of the two list boxes. A
reboot might be needed before the changes take effect.
