Initialize Baking Issue For Newb

[AaronAdvecor]

I'm not sure if I'm at the right place to get help, but if I'm not,
would someone clue me in?

My issue concerns properly starting Bake from Windows XP commandline.

I have ";C:\xampp\php;C:\xampp\htdocs\cake\console" appended to my
system environment variable "path" and I'm able to launch the CakePHP
Console from my Windows XP commandline.  However, when I try to
initialize Bake via the command "cake bake", I'm prompted with "What
is the full path for this app including the app directory name?"

I've tried entering every seemingly relevant directory I can think of
(including "C:\xampp\htdocs\cake\console\libs" and "C:\xampp\htdocs
\cake\console"), but regardless, what happens next is I get prompted
with the creation of a skel directory in whatever directory I enter.

I've even gone ahead and created the skel directory, but to no avail.
It creates the directory alright, but then just prompts me with
creating another one when I try to initiate Bake again.  (I've also
tried starting Bake using the "cake bake -app C:\xampp\htdocs\cake
\console" command, but that doesn't make any difference.)

I'd really appreciate some help on this, as all other elements of
CakePHP are working great.  I just need to get Bake up and running.

Thank you in advance for any help anyone can offer...

did you navigate to the app folder before typing "cake bake"?
C:\path\app>

I actually hadn't been doing that, so I tried it and it worked!  Thank
you very much for the help!

However, I'm still wondering if it's possible to somehow change the
value of the system environment variable "path" so I can just type
"cake bake" from any directory via commandline and have Bake launch.

Does anyone know if this is indeed possible?

Yes you can - you need to add lib/Cake/Console to you ensironment path (see the screencast by GWoo)
