You need to put the path to the php.exe into your system variables.

Right-click on "My Computer" --> Properties --> Advanced System Settings --> Environment Variables --> path var

Btw: Please, raise your aceept rate...

see my answer on this post: Cakephp 2.1 naming convensions issue in version change

using the explicit path via shortcut is the fastest method and doesnt need any configuration.

According to this article. You can run bake command.

  1. Open Computer under your Windows Start menu.

  2. Right-click the Computer window, and select Properties.

  3. You will be brought to the Control Panel’s System window. We’ll need to change our environment variables under Advanced System Settings, which you can select from the left column menu in this window.

  4. Select the Advancedtab on the System Properties window.

  5. Click the Environment Variables… button.

  6. In the System Variables box, find the Path variable and click Edit….

  7. If there isn’t one already, add a semicolon to the end of the current Path variable (a semicolon is used to separate variables).

  8. At the end of your Path variable add

    c:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.8\;c:\wamp\www\order_system\app\Console\;

    And click OK to save your changes.

(The first path should point to your installation of PHP, and second variable should point to the app\Console location of the project that you are developing)
