Installing the firefox addon sdk fails (batch file error)

[colonel_mortis]

I'm trying to install the firefox addons api on windows so that I can start developing addons. I've downloaded it from the links in this post on MDN, but when I follow the instructions, it comes up with the following error:

It is running from a batch file, the source of which is as follows:

It appears to be failing at the line that says

if that helps.

If anyone knows either how to fix it or where there is a working copy of the sdk, I would greatly appreciate it.

Note that I have tried manually typing the code that was output from the program (reg QUERY etc.) and it seems to work when manually entered.

I do have python installed (x86 and x64)

EDIT: This issue is also present with v1.14 (1.15 is the latest and the one I have used above) that I downloaded from a mirror site. Which probably means it's an issue on my side.
