Hi,

This might help:

1. Add Python's "Scripts" directory to %PATH% environment variable (look
for \PythonXY\Scripts directory).

2. Find out what extension has the fab script (it is most probably .py
or .bat) and add this extension to %PATHEXT%. It will allow you to call
fab without specifying the extension.

I don't use python on Windows either so there might be some other issues.
