Errors installing Ambry on a Windows based machine about ambry

[cgtz]

Hi @salamehsameera,

I will try this out on my windows machine later today, but could you try changing the paths to start with D:/ instead of /d/ (assuming D is the drive name)? Also, you may want to try removing the drive specifier (e.g. /users/sameeras/ambry2/config/log4j.properties instead)

Thanks @cgtz, I tried both and it did not work out unfortunately, here's the log output:
