title: I can't run Kafka on windows
body: <p>I'm learning about Microservice Architecture these days and I need to run Kafka to follow some tutorials. However, zookeeper-server-start on cmd which is the first step for running up Kafka doesn't work for me. 
  It says <strong>'the syntax of the command is incorrect'</strong></p>
  
  <p>I followed process below </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>download kafka and extarct
  (<a href="https://kafka.apache.org/downloads" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://kafka.apache.org/downloads</a> - kafka_2.11-2.1.0.tgz (binary download))</p></li>
  <li><p>open cmd and write command</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>These are what I've tried so far (at kafka directory)</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>bin\windows\zookeeper-server-start.bat zookeeper.properties</li>
  <li>.\bin\windows\zookeeper-server-start.bat .\config\zookeeper.properties</li>
  <li>\bin\windows\zookeeper-server-start.bat \config\zookeeper.properties</li>
  <li>zookeeper-server-start.bat ../../config/zookeeper.properties</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>and so on... plus, kafka directory is not too long to cause the error.(C:\kafka)</p>
