Try no space between ".\Scripts\" and "django-admin.py"
You could also try forward slashes on the django-admin.py line (I think that you need the back slashes on the activate line). And I don't think that you need the ".\" on the django-admin.py line. And, if that activate is activating a virtualenv (as the "(burrus)" might seem to imply), then you might be able to just do: python django-admin.py startproject me (but I'm not that familiar with virtualenv on Windows. On *nix it's all about path modification, so the django-admin.py might just be found.) Also worth trying is: django-admin.py startproject me Perhaps someone who actually uses Windows for django development could chime in?
