I've seen this issue with path before when using WinOS. _Another_
possibility for an executable not recognized on WinOS is OS Path
variable is too long (the colon delimited list has too many characters).
The failure is silent: No message that delimited list is too long and no
truncation or end of line while entering. Only indicator is a message
that an executable is not recognized when trying to use that
executable.
Solutions I recall:
* Remove some paths from System or User Path variable.
* If all are needed, then manually change path each time you
change your work (yes, this was a suggestion I recall, yikes).
* Or consider another user with only difference between them is
User Path.
* Shorten your individual paths so total Path character count is
lowered.
* You already know of System and User Paths. You may also know
this, for a particular user, whether a path is listed under
System or User makes no difference. It only needs listed in one
place
(Note: These suggestions are for <= WinXP. I have no knowledge of
WinVista. I no longer use WinOS. I've recalled all this from memory. My
memory is maximum character count of a System or User Path is 256
characters (this may be a bad memory) - no matter, I am certain there is
a fixed character limit.)
cheers,
Reed
PS: Another possibility is: In the django-admin.py path or somewhere
else in System or User Path there is a malformed element. I use element
because it may or may not show as a character on screen. The only
solution I know for this is visually verify each individual path is
correct *and* then _completely_ erase System or User Path and then
manually type each back in.
PSS: Does anyone know if "-" (minus sign) may cause "erratic" parsing
behavior in WinOS? It does in Bash!
