Great write-up.

Like James, I just had to get rid of spaces on the end of the following lines:

set EC2_HOME=c:\aws\ec2
and
set AWS_ELB_HOME=c:\aws\elb

Thanks!

Great article. I had trouble with whitespace in my batch file. Once I cleared that up, I can move to the next step.

Environment errors:
Ensure there are no trailing spaces if you create the .bat, as it will muck things up.

In a command window, type: set
You should see not see any spaces in your PATH= section.
Good: ;c:\aws\elb\bin;c:\aws\ec2\bin
Bad: ;c:\aws\elb\bin;c:\aws\ec2\ bin

I was following the instructions and it appears everything is working, but when I run the ec2-describe regions, I get an error stating unkown host: “https://ec2.amazonaws.com”

What am I missing? Any command I try gives me the same message.

Thanks!
