I’m still having problems with this error. ![Command Line Restore Error](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/c/9c42f12b16f4b576a0921d62d7ccdba9a1574d93.jpeg) I alway get system cannot find the path specified but I this is the gwcmd file that is causing the problem. my backup file is on drive e: I can take a dir and it shows, I have tried other backup but always the same. I have edited the gwcmd.bat to point to correct java path. What am I missing? ---

If you comment out the the `@ECHO OFF` line in the .bat file, you’ll be able to specifically see which line is the problem (or at least see what it’s trying to do). `REM @ECHO OFF` ---

Copy it as a command. it should just return the version number of Java. Use it as a sanity check that you can run java from the directory we’re trying to run gwcmd.bat from. ---

I'm on a different version so i have no idea what _com.inductiveautomation.catapult.control.HeadlessControlUtil_ is but dataDir=data seems odd? no idea. > [@dcamp1](#): > > dataDir=data ---

Copied this line from my only Windows install. Note the asterisk at the very end. I didn’t happen to see it on what you posted, but it could have been a copy / paste error. `%JAVA_CMD% -classpath ".;lib/core/gateway/*;lib/core/common/*" com.inductiveautomation.catapult.control.HeadlessControlUtil dataDir=data currentdir="%CURRENTDIR%" %*` EDIT: Nevermind, the rest of your parameters wouldn’t be there it the asterisk was missing. ---

I believe you’d be getting different errors if you were successfully invoking _HeadlessControlUtil_ (and something like `classpath`, `dataDir`, etc was incorrect). The error message looks to be coming from Windows not being able to find `java.exe` (based on your `JAVA_CMD` var) to even be able to run the rest of it. ---

Should I not be able to type this at this command prompt: I’m running the command prompt as administrator! I’m at this command prompt. c:\program files\inductive automation\ignition\>gwcmd --help This is what I get “The system cannot find the path specified” I get the same error if I use -h something strange is going on [Next page](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/version-7-9-10-command-line-utility/55809.md?page=2)
