Cannot get the cakephp 2.3 console running on xampp on Windows 7

I am running a cakePHP app which is located in C:xammp\htdocs\scheduling. I am running it on xampp on Windows 7. I have added the following environment variables:

C:\xampp\htdocs\scheduling\app\Console\;C:\xampp\php;

but still cannot get the cakephp console in operation. When I navigate to C:\xampp\htdocs\scheduling\app and try to get the cake console or cake help, I am given a message that it is not recognized as an internal or external command.

And yes, I did reload the cmd after adding the environment variables.

Just reloading the cmd is not enough, you need to either reboot your system or add it once manually before you are ready to reboot:

set Path="%Path%;c:\xampp\htdocs\scheduling\app\Console"

If all else fails, you can always call it in full from your app dir:

Console\cake bake

It's a little bit more typing, but this will work regardless of the Path variable settings.
