EC2 Command Line Tool Setup

https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-amazon-ec2-command-line-tools

Hello,

When I followed your command line setup I got an error. “The system can not find the path specified.” I loaded the path in my browser and it found it right away. I went back to the DOS prompt and added a dash in front of the command ec2-describe-images so that it looked like this (-ec2-describe-images). This caused the system to not only find the file but it gave a different error. "ec2-describe-images is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file.

The java -version command returned the proper response. This happens on WinXP and WinVista

You probably need to review step 1, 4 and 6. Adding a dash in front EC2 commmands is not going to help.

Have you tried ElasticFox:

Most people use ElasticFox or the AWS console to manage EC2 instances. Makes life easier.

EC2 tools is more useful for integration.
