Hi Dayne, GhostScript should be installed into the %PATH% automatically that, so typing gs should work too.
%PATH% is not Windows\System32 PATH is the name of a variable % is the variable identifer under windows so if you type %PATH% => returns the value of the variable PATH open a cmd and type %PATH% the variable PATH is the variable that windows will search for executables. So you type ffmpeg it will look for a ffmpeg.exe in all paths configured in the %PATH% variable. And normally you have already 10 or more paths in it separated with an semicolon ( ";" ) for example this is a value of a PATH: C:\Programme\TortoiseSVN\bin;%Java_HOME%\bin;%M2_HOME%\bin;C:\Programme\Subversion\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\Programme\Informix\Connect\bin; %ORACLE_HOME%\bin;;C:\Programme\JProbe 8.3\bin You can configure the variable by right clicking in the windows explorer on your computer/home sign => properties the "advanced" tab, then on the bottom "environment variables" .. you need to open a new CMD everytime when you want to see changes you made to that. So that is how it works on windows...
