heres what I did, my lazy fix. renamed "Cloud SDK" to "Cloud". went into "AppData\Local\Google\Cloud\google-cloud-sdk" and ran install.bat.

then under windows user variables edit path to have an entry for " C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Cloud\google-cloud-sdk\bin"

windows is retarded that you have to put spaces in quotes. Use command "gcloud info" after install.bat to check the gcloud installation path name is accurate without the spaces now.
