Steps:
1. Download the cakephp framework from cakephp.org
2. Unzip and copy that folder inside C:\wamp\www\
3. Set up the environment variables (In windows 7, Do to My Computer>>Prop>>Advanced system settings>>Advanced>>Environment Variables>>Inside system variables, see the path and click on Edit and add following lines (based on the location of the files and folders) )

C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6\;C:\wamp\www\cakephp1.1.3\cake\console\;
Now the actual line becomes:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.2.6\;C:\wamp\www\cakephp1.1.3\cake\console\;

Click on Ok and Ok.
Now you are done.
4. Go to console (Run>>Type cmd)
5. Type cake as

C:\Users\Suresh>cake
It will run by showing you up welcome messages with some path scripts.

Now change directory to C:\wamp\www as:
C:\Users\Suresh>cd C:\\wamp\www
C:\wamp\www>cake
Now it shows that cake is running from C:\\wamp\www
Happy Coding!!
