There are no instructions about where the command is meant to be ran.

How did you install Review Board? Can you search your drive for rb-site and see where
it is, and see if you can run that one?

First of all I noticed that issues 1877 and 1878 are duplicates of this one. I got 
errors from google when posting and I didn't noticed they were actually posted so 
please link those.

About your question the rb-site file I found has no extension. I tried renaming 
to .py hoping it to be a python script but it didn't work.

I was able to install python and everything based on the installation instructions 
but can't create the first site. Not sure if that's considered an installation.

In my case rb-site (w/o extension) is at C:\Python25\Scripts with the rest of the 
installed python modules.

Odd, it should be an executable .exe. Where did you install your Python and
setuptools from?

I followed the instructions exactly as they are n the installation instructions. Both 
are official python releases.

I tried with the rc1 and still the rb-site file has no extension but this time I was 
able to rename it as rb-site.exe and ran it. It's taking a while to react.

Sadly it just hangs there :(

I'll try to play with this later and see if I can figure out why it's happening.

Hi, we are in same page. I too had this problem. I used UWIN ( you can try Cigwin ) 
to run rb-site script on windows. I did not had rb-site.exe when using RC1. Now 
after upgrading to RC3, rb-site.exe got installed. Either you can try RC3 or use 
UWIN or Cigwin or MKS-NT ( Not freeware ) to run rb-site on Windows.

I meant to close this, but yes, it's fixed in RC3.
