Google Cloud SDK failed to install '.exe;.bat;.com' is not a recognized command
The error message you encountered, "'.exe;.bat;.com' is not a recognized command," typically indicates an issue with the environment variables on your system. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:
Check the PATH environment variable: Open the System Properties dialog on your Windows machine, go to the "Advanced" tab, and click on "Environment Variables". Look for the PATH variable in the "System variables" section. Ensure that the paths to the directories containing executables (e.g., C:\Windows\system32) are listed correctly.
Verify the file associations: Open a command prompt and run the following commands to check if the file associations for
.exe
,.bat
, and.com
are set correctly:shellassoc .exe
assoc .bat
assoc .com
The output should be
.exe=exefile
,.bat=batfile
, and.com=comfile
respectively. If the output is different or empty, you can reset the file associations using the following commands:shellassoc .exe=exefile
assoc .bat=batfile
assoc .com=comfile
Restart your computer: Sometimes, a system restart can help resolve environment variable-related issues.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it might be helpful to provide more context or specific error messages to assist in troubleshooting further.
