Windows x64 RabbitMQ install error with Erlang environment var (ERLANG_HOME)

Question

I\'m ask/answering this question because it hung me up & it\'s likely someone else will have the same problem.

Install of RabbitMQ x64 v2.8.6 on Windows Server 2

Answer 1

Interesting that this worked for you. There is record of a two bugs in Erl5.9.2 that cause an incomplete installation where %ERLANG_HOME%\bin is not installed.

Either of * Installed 64bit erlang on 32bit machine * "The program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer."

Try 5.9.1 or any other version. They also mention making the future versions of the installer alert you if it fails.
