Hmm interesting. I didn't know about putting the IDE folder into the 
path environment. Though nevertheless, the above mentioned error (which 
is to say, no error/output at all) did appear inside the windows command 
prompt.
Thanks however, I'll try to set the IDE path and see how this is going 
to work out.
