Answer 1

Double check that you have PHP CLI (command line) installed and added to your Windows path.

Also, make sure you are running yiic.bat - the Windows script. The plain yiic script (no file extension) is a Unix shell script. You want something like this on Win:

YiiRoot/framework/yiic.bat webapp WebRoot/testdrive

If the .bat script doesn't work, call PHP directly to yiic.php, like so:

php path\to\yii\framework\yiic.php webapp path\to\www\ApplicationName
