This is a "Path" problem. See this from Wesley Vogel.

- - -
'xxxx' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

That can happen if something is misspelled or if the command is not in the
Path.

Why don't my commands work?

Sounds like your PATH is not set correctly.

Type in "PATH" and press ENTER when in a CMD prompt box. Copy and paste
that here.

Also type in "SET" and press ENTER.. That has a line starting with
"PATHEXT=..." <- copy and paste that here.
