The issue is the slash ( \\ ) in your command. Make sure it is all on one line and remove any slashes ( \\ ). Also keep in mind that the command prompt interprets commands on a single line, so do not spread the command across multiple lines as it will treat everything on a new line as a different command. Put everything on one line.
