  <p>When running install.bat I get the following error : </p>

  This usually indicates corruption in your gcloud installation or problems with your Python interpreter.
  
  Please verify that the following is the path to a working Python 2.7 executable:
      G:\Python27\python.exe
  
  If it is not, please set the CLOUDSDK_PYTHON environment variable to point to a working Python 2.7 executable.
  
  If you are still experiencing problems, please reinstall the Cloud SDK using the instructions here:
