Hi there,
I had exactly the same error message when I installed XE on Win7-64. I solved it in the way mentioned below :
1) Checked the path of the file 'net.exe' on my machine. (It was 'C:\Windows\System32' on my machine)
2) Opened environment variables section. (It was ...Control Panel\System and Security\System\Advanced System settings on my machine)
In the system variables, located the system variable 'PATH'. Clicked edit and added the path of net.exe i.e., 'C:\Windows\System32'. and saved.
3) Now, when I clicked 'Start DB' link, in the command prompt, the error "'net' is not recognised......." did not appear. Control went to the next stage
