Grails is not recognized as an internal or external command (Windows 7)

grails, path, windows-7

Solution

First try this one on `CMD` commandline type

`echo %GRAILS_HOME%`

Then type `path` and see if the grails paths is something like :

`C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\grails2.1.1`

ok , if in any case i sugget you replace the `GRAILS_HOME` with `C:\grails2.1.1`

`C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\Win‌​d owsPowerShell\v1.0\;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%GRAILS_HOME%\bin;`

with

`C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\Win‌​d owsPowerShell\v1.0\;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;c:\grails2.1.1\bin;`

Then logout or restart the PC it should work ,if not check your package of grails for a file names grails.bat something or try to run it by giving the exact path from `CMD`!!

like :

cmd > c:\grails2.1.1\bin\startGrails.bat

Problem

I don't know what I'm doing wrong... First I've downloaded, and unzipped the folder in C:\ : Then, set it as a user variable : And added it to my PATH : And even after restarting cmd, when I check `grails -version` I get this : grails is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. What is wrong? Thanks for your help.
