I don't think you caused anything. I think it's this way in the 2.22 installation. I don't know if it's intentional or not. Since your system doesn't recognize python as an executable, you'll have to launch it from python. Type "python --version" to see if python is in your path. If so, type "python path\to\convert-ly ..." or create a script.
