>>> i would like to know how to install btool on windows
when we install Splunk, the btool automatically installs with the installation. From your question i understand that you are looking for "how to run btool on windows".

>>> i was trying to open in windows as an administrator and I could get the results.
Just to make sure you are running the cmd prompt with admin rights, pls check if the top left on cmd prompt shows as "Administrator: Command Prompt"

>>> C:\Program Files\Splunk\bin>splunk btool inputs list
'splunk' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Please suggest us, if you installed splunk on the default path or did you install on custom path. thanks. 

thanks and best regards,
Sekar

The commands you want are:

splunk cmd btool inputs list

splunk cmd btool transforms list

However, splunk.exe is either missing or inaccessible in the context of your cmd.exe process. Are you running as Administrator, and does Administrator or the Administrators group have basic Read & Execute permissions on C:\Program Files\Splunk\bin and C:\Program Files\Splunk\bin\splunk.exe?

 thanks.

Ha (at myself). I've been using "splunk cmd btool" for over a decade and never noticed that "splunk btool" was added as a shortcut in 7.2.

This said that command splunk is not recognized. You could try 

.\splunk.exe btool ....

on that directory.
