Question

While using the Google code website, I have tried using the command prompt to follow their instructions:

First, determine which key you will
use to sign your application at
release and make sure of the path to
the keystore that contains it.

Next, run Keytool with the -list
option, against the target keystore
and key alias. The table below lists
the options you should use.

But I am continuously getting this error:

C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_23\bin>keytool
-list keytool error: java.lang.Exception: Keystore file
does not exist: C:\Documents and
Settings\nwashington.keystore

also when I follow the next instruction on the site:

Here’s an example of a Keytool command
that generates an MD5 certificate
fingerprint for the key alias_name in
the keystore my-release-key.keystore

Here is what I wrote and my error:

> C:\Program
> Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_23\bin>keytool
> -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore C:\Documents and
> Settings\nwashington.android\debug.keystore
> -storepass android -keypass android keytool error:
> java.lang.RuntimeException: Usage
> error, and is not a legal command

Am I not entering the correct “my-release-key”?

Can anyone help me get past this issue/what the error means?

Thank you!

C:\Documents a nd Settings

Is that extra space in “and” the problem, or did that get inserted while you were creating this question?

Maybe you need quotes around the path because it contains spaces?
