CakePHP Current Paths not correct for cake bake

My currect paths prevent me from executing cake bake. I get the reply: What is the path to the project you want to bake? [c:\xampp\htdocs\musiclib\myapp] > Hopefully the following details will reveal where I have gone wrong. In my XAMPP shell I get the following results when I execute the command, 'cake':

App : musiclib
Path: c:\xampp\htdocs\musiclib\  - this is the application I want to bake
Current Paths:
-app: musiclib
-working: c:\xampp\htdocs\musiclib
-root: c:\xampp\htdocs
-core: C:\xampp\htdocs\musiclib\lib

My environment variable path ends with ;C:\xampp\htdocs\musiclib\Cake\lib\Console; My httpd-vhosts.conf contains

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/musiclib/app/webroot"
ServerName musiclib:80
ServerAlias localhost
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

How should I prepare my paths to use cake bake?

It appears you are running the bake shell from your project root and therefor Cake doesn't properly detect your app path. This can be seen by the App : musiclib bit in the output. That folder is not your app folder, obviously. Try one of these things:

  1. Run it from your app folder. So cd into app and then:

    ..\lib\Cake\Console\cake bake

  2. Use the -app flag to specify the path to your app folder. When inside your project root (htdocs/musiclib), run:

    lib\Cake\Console\cake bake -app app

Where the last app is the relative path to your app folder from where you are.
