I've just downloaded Console2 as an alternative to the default cmd console that comes with windows, when I double click I get this error :
I added the C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe to the PATH environment variable, but it didn't fix it, what should I do ??

Try going to %APPDATA%\Console\console.xml and removing the Console2 <console shell=""> attribute.

1is it possible you mean %APPDATA% ? – Florenz Kley – 2014-10-15T19:33:37.523
:-) nice first answer. – Florenz Kley – 2014-10-15T21:08:48.270
Are you running as Administrator? If not, try that – Caraxian – 2014-10-01T22:21:33.353
I run the app as an Administrator and I still get the same problem ! – AymenDaoudi – 2014-10-01T22:23:56.230
No idea then, sorry. – Caraxian – 2014-10-01T22:32:00.043
That error message looks bizarre. Why is there a semicolon at the end? It appears to me that it's trying to open cmd.exe; and that will never work. Try re downloading and re-installing. You may have a corrupt download? – Nate – 2014-10-01T22:34:11.497
@NateBergeron I couldn't obtain a installer, can you give me a link to that please ? – AymenDaoudi – 2014-10-01T22:37:05.767
It's not an installer, just an application, same as in your picture. http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/files/latest/download
– Nate – 2014-10-01T22:39:06.340Give a try to ConEmu. – Maximus – 2014-10-02T05:16:33.667
Your screen shot is not clear. Are you double clicking on the line labelled Application or the line XML File? – DavidPostill – 2014-10-02T07:32:40.427
You shouldn't need to add cmd.exe to your path it will already be there. – DavidPostill – 2014-10-02T07:36:32.023
It runs here, but I had to allow it some permissions in Avast. Perhaps your anti-virus is blocking it? – DavidPostill – 2014-10-02T07:37:36.887
