Problems getting Jetpack Running
SpeedGun
I recently tried to get Jetpack running, I am a bit of a noob but I
think I followed the instructions correctly.
My system is Windows XP and I am using Command Prompt
When trying to run bin\activate I get this: Error: The system was
unable to find the specified registry key or value.
Please provide any help that you can give, and feel free to ask for
more information.
Thanks

Hmm, it sounds like some of the code we added in bug 558505 isn't behaving as expected.
Have you installed Python on your system? Is there more information displayed than just the one line you provided? If so, what is it?

displayed, actually it does seem to indicate that it has succesfully
activated jetpack, but that is incorrect as you can not use any of the
special commands.
Here is the complete output after I enter "bin\activate" (and yes I
have navigated to the correct folder):
value
(C:\jetpack-sdk) C:\jetpack-sdk>
If for example I try to run "cfx docs" I get this:
'python' is not recognized as a internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.
Hmm after trying to run this, maybe I misconfigured python?
That seems to be a new error.

had the same problems as before, maybe its user error on my part?

Check to see if Python is correctly identified in your PATH.

updating the batch file; IIRC, the IF command has something weird going
on with ERRORLEVEL, such that it won't update the error level until the
whole () block ends. Very strange, but frustratingly typical of the
batch language as a whole.
Attaching a patch for bin\activate.bat, and appending the updated
version, too. Hope this helps.

"Environment Variables". Check to see if the directory/folder that
contains "python.exe" is listed as one of the PATH variables.
If you can find PATH in the Environment Variables section; you may
need to edit/add "C:\Python32" (or whatever the path to the directory
containing "python.exe")... Does that makes sense?

that one of the (semicolon-delimited) paths in the output is the one for
Python.
But it seems that the usual Python installer doesn't actually set the
Python path by default, so this shouldn't be necessary; the message I
sent earlier about fixing bin\activate.bat should be all you really
need. (I don't have Python on my path, but cfx docs works just fine all
the same.)
