Slicer is not recognized as an internal or external command

Hi Stefan,
I tried to run hello_world example on Win7, but stuck at running 'slicer serve slicer.ini' with above error message.
I found "Slicer" file (without exe or py extension) on C:\Python27\Scripts which contain following code:

#!C:\Python27\python.exe
# EASY-INSTALL-SCRIPT: 'cubes==0.8.1','slicer'
 __requires__ = 'cubes==0.8.1'
 import pkg_resources
 pkg_resources.run_script('cubes==0.8.1', 'slicer')

I tried both 'pip install cubes' and 'python setup.py install'. Do I miss something here?

Not sure how it works on Windows, but check your PATH. 'python setup.py install' should install the bin/slicer somewhere in your path. Look for a line similar to:

...
Installing slicer script to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin
...

to see where it gets installed.

I suppose it should be installed in C:\Python27\Scripts (same folder for pip, easy_install, etc).

Incidentally, I managed to "find/generate" slicer.py and place it manually in above directory and I'm able to run the example. However, I could not retrace back steps I did to generate it :(
