If this hints at a general problem we'd like to hear about it.
I originally tried to use a path like the following:
"C:\Folder with Spaces and Uppercase\-- folder with other chars
--\qooxdoosdk\tool\bin\create-application.py --name=custom --out=C:"
which failed. I moved the qooxdoo sdk directly under C: (less typing)
and made sure there were no spaces, all lower-case and no chars like a
'-' in the path, then it worked. I put a short note about this on the
wiki.
Well, this can't be it, can it?! Since you said you are using Windows
cmd as the shell, the answer to spaces in paths is quoting, right?!
Which is the general answer to all spaces in paths within cmd, whether
they are in executable programs or command line parameters.
So the hint can't be: Don't put spaces in your path to qooxdoo. - The
hint must be: Respect the path handling constraints of your shell.

Hi Thomas,
Yes, I'm sure that this is the issue -- but as I'm not a command line
type of guy and I'm just trying to follow the Hello World example (which
in all sincerity should be *idiot proof*, and yes, I count myself in
this category at the moment with qooxdoo!).
Ideally these getting started docs should be put together by someone
who's using that platform and a bit of care should be taken when writing
them -- once someone's cut their teeth on the qooxdoo system, then
having the documentation making assumptions about the knowledge of the
reader is a bit less critical...
I'll change the bit in the wiki to point out the quoted path requirement
for paths that contain spaces, etc.
