It's not seeming to work for me. I ran as admin, (im using windows 7) it has debugging enabled, and its charge only. Though when I run and try to root my phone it keeps saying "the system cannot find the path specified"

Had the same exact problem. Ended up rooting by running the exploit .bat directly: Security Research by Dan RosenbergQuote:

...I followed the instructions step by step, I have windows7. My first go around didn't go well, actually ran into same problems tht the above posters went thru. I thought I was SOL, when I tried the second time around I just double clicked instead of right clicking and ran it without doin it as Admin....poof! Sucesss!!
Rum the program without having to run it as Admin..

Two things I possibly messed up on:
1: I downloaded Rom Manager and premium out of pure habit, but I realized my mistake and uninstalled them without running anything
2: I installed Busy Box Installer, and when I clicked install, it gave me an error saying that it was not compatible with my device. I have also uninstalled Busy Box Installer.
Anybody know why booting into recovery loops me, but booting regular works fine? I haven't seen this issue in this or any other threads.
Thanks!
FYI for any Linux users trying this:
It works, but not with sudo. :(
If you want to go the sudo route, just use 'sudo su', then run the script :D
BTW:
Huge thanks to all those who have made this possible! You guys rock!
Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but none of the download links work at this time...
