Drush on windows - Command pm-enable needs a higher bootstrap level to run I installed aquia drupal and added a core drupal folder into the sites list.

I also installed the windows installer of drush, it works ok for downloading modules but when I try to enable them I get this screen:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\drupal&gt;drush en ctools
Command pm-enable needs a higher bootstrap level to run - you will       [error]

need invoke drush from a more functional Drupal environment to run
this command.
The drush command 'en ctools' could not be executed.                     [error]

Drush was not able to start (bootstrap) the Drupal database.             [error]

Hint: This error often occurs when Drush is trying to bootstrap a
site that has not been installed or does not have a configured
database.

Drush was attempting to connect to :
  Drupal version    : 7.9
  Site URI          : http://default
  Default theme     : garland
  Administration theme: garland
  PHP configuration : C:\Program Files\Propeople\Drush\Php\php.ini
  Drush version     : 5.0-dev
  Drush configuration:
  Drush alias files :
  Drupal root       : C:/Documents and
Settings/Administrator/Desktop/drupal
  Site path         : sites/default
  Modules path      : sites/all/modules
  Themes path       : sites/all/themes
  File directory path: sites/default/files
  %paths            : Array

You can select another site with a working database setup by
specifying the URI to use with the --uri parameter on the command
line or $options['uri'] in your drushrc.php file.


Anyone know how to solve this?

As a side note, whats the easiest way to get drush with the bash working on windows? Any good tuts?
This particular error happens when drush cannot find the settings.php file to read in and "bootstrap" itself. 

You need to cd into the drupal directory (Document root) of your drupal install in order for it to read in a settings.php file. 

Looks like your pwd (present working directory) is on your desktop. Which i'm going to make a quick assumption that that directory isn't where your drupal install is located at.

I highly recommend looking into installing/using Cygwin on windows; as it's a slight improvement. 

From there you'll be able to do more things with Drush. The sql-sync and several other functions i hear don't totally work reliably. For even more bonus points you may want to move to a linux or mac environment (something that has a terminal built in). 

If you must stay with windows, please consider a drupal project called, quickstart, that creates a virtual machine that allows you to run ubuntu through a remote desktop terminal.
