Heroku installation error in windows

Question

I have installed Heroku toolbelt in my windows machine. But after executing heroku login I am getting the following error:

'MySQL' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. 'MySQL' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

!    Git must be installed to use the Heroku Toolbelt.  
!    See instructions here: http://git-scm.com

I have already installed git, MySQL and all are working using cmd directly and my rails app is working correctly on my localhost. The strange thing is why heroku is even using mysql since I'm just loggin in. How can I resolve this issue?

Answer 1

I was also getting the same error. I finally resolved it by changing the Path variable.

• Escape the ampersand with a caret (^)

  C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Fabric 1.5.4^&MySQL Utilities 1.5.4 1.5\;

Note: Replace all occurrence of & by ^&. There could be 2 or more occurrence.

Answer 2

This is failing due to a bug in Heroku launcher script as it doesn’t properly escape ampersands in the PATH environment variable.
You might have an & sign possibly in your MySQL path for MySQL Fabric & MySQL Utilities
