You need to tell us exactly what shell you were using (Windows command 
prompt, cygwin bash, MSYS bash, etc.), exactly the command you typed and 
the exact error message you get (just cut & paste).

I suspect this is just due to the shell you were using not understanding 
the quoting you were using.  The command you give above should work in 
bash, but probably not Windows command prompt.
