As the title already says the activator command is not working in my command line. The OS I am using is Windows 10. The java version I use is 1.8.0_111.

But I think it's the best to describe what I've done this far:

First, I downloaded Activator 1.3.12 including Play 2.5.13. After that, I extracted the zip file and got the activator-dist-1.3.12 directory. As told at the download page, I added this directory to my path of my system variables. So now my path looks like this.

C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\iCLS Client\;C:\Program Files\Intel\iCLS Client\;C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\bin\x86_64;C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\bin\x86;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Live;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\IPT;C:\Program Files (x86)\Livestreamer;C:\Users\Stefan\JEE\apache-maven-3.3.3-bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_111\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\GNU\GnuPG\pub;C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\x64\;C:\Users\Stefan\Desktop\Studium\6.Sem\bin;%USERPROFILE%\.dnx\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft DNX\Dnvm\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\130\Tools\Binn\;C:\Users\Stefan\Desktop\Play\activator-dist-1.3.12\

So after that, I should be able to rund commands in my command line like 
activator  ui

or 

activator  new

But everytime I try to do them, my command line tells me that either I misspelled the command "activator" wrond or it could not be found. 

Can someone help me and tell me what I did wrong, or what I forgot?

Thanks in advance

I don't know if it's your case, but under Linux the activator binary is located on the bin directory.
So, your path should be
C:\Users\Stefan\Desktop\Play\activator-dist-1.3.12\bin
