Android studio giving us following error

Question

Android studio showing error while compiling program. I have no Idea that is it a Android Studio Environment Issue or Windows Issue. I don't now why is Android Studio finding cmd in C:\windows except of C:\windows\system32.

Execution failed for task

':app:dexDebug'.

Run this command in your cmd and include the output in the question. `echo %PATH%` . — Piyush Agarwal, Feb 13 '14 at 07:55
I am in office and could not edit my Environment Variables to replicate the error but can you please try to remove extra semicolon in path variable after `DW LAN Card` restart AS after doing the change. — Piyush Agarwal, Feb 13 '14 at 08:44
Doesn't seem like a Android Studio issue, something wrong with environment only. — Piyush Agarwal, Feb 13 '14 at 09:54
