Installing 7.11 I'm encountering two errors following the quick-start guide:
First, at the step:
Allow Insecure Cookies
Because we just configured Appian to run over http instead of https, we now need to also tell it that it's OK to set cookies that don't require a secure connection.

1. Go to <REPO_HOME>\\ear\\suite.ear\\web.war\\WEB-INF\\.
2. Copy <APPIAN_HOME>\\ear\\suite.ear\\web.war\\WEB-INF\\web.xml into the current directory

There is no web-war folder in suite.ear in <REPO_HOME>.

When I move past this problem I run into the following issue when i try to start up appian:
c:\\appian>appian711\\server\\_scripts\\start-suite.bat
'exports.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
The system cannot find the path specified.

These errors are not related to Appian rather related to environment variables. I ran into the same problem and performed following steps to resolve errors

1. Right-Click on My Computer icon
2. Select the Advanced tab
3. Click on Environment Variables
4. Under "System Variables" locate Path and choose 'EDIT'.
5. Copy this entire string and paste it into Notepad for safe keeping.
6. Add the directory that houses your program. Example: C:\\Windows\\System32;
7. Verify that you used a semi-colon followed by a space for item number 6.
8. Click 'Ok'

1. You have to create the directory manually in the repo
2. What's the content of <APPIAN_HOME>\\ear\\suite.ear\\conf\\appian-home.properties?

Based on the error I'm expecting #2 of my note to reveal the location of Appian was changed after the installation causing this issue. You'll have to set the right path there so that all relative references to Appian scripts are executed properly.

No not Appian Home directory, Its a windows directory for example C:\\Windows\\System32. Please go to C: driver on your system and try to locate windows folder. And add this string C:\\Windows\\System32; to path variable under System variables.

Eduardo: Just started fresh after updating my path variables and manually created the directory for 1 this time.
I'm still seeing the same errors.
Contents for appian-home.properties:
AE_HOME=C:/appian/appian711

Error message again:
c:\\appian\\appian711>server\\_scripts\\start-suite.bat
'exports.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
The system cannot find the path specified.
'admin' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Oh I know what the problem is, try thisL

cd c:\\appian\\appian711\\server\\_scripts
start-suite.bat

that should work. Given the relative path commands inside the scripts you cannot run them from other levels.
