Uwe Schindler commented on SOLR-11441:
--------------------------------------

Reading the IRC chat the problem seems much easier. On Windows the forward 
slash is a separator. So to execute a command you need to use backslash after 
"bin".

Also the user does not say which shell she uses.

> windows shell splits args on "=" so we should consider updating our docs to 
> always quote args like -Dfoo=bar or improve bin/solr.cmd to account for this

> 14:07 < sara_:#solr> New question: bin/solr start -e techproducts 
> -Dsolr.ltr.enabled=true
> 14:07 < sara_:#solr> gave me invalid command-line option:true
> 14:07 < sara_:#solr> anyone knows why?
> ...
> 15:02 < sara_:#solr> i have 6.6.1 @elyograg
> 15:03 < sara_:#solr> mine is a windows 10 machine
> ...
> 15:28 < sara_:#solr> @elyograg i just downloaded solr-7.0.0 and ran bin/solr 
> start -e techproducts -Dsolr.ltr.enabled=true
> 15:28 < sara_:#solr> it still gave me invalid command-line
> ...
> 15:29 <@hoss:#solr> sara_: the only thing i can think of is that windows 10 
> is splitting your command line on '=' ? ... can you try 
>                     quoting the entire command line arg so the script gets 
> the entire -Dsolr.ltr.enabled=true ? (not sure how to quote 
>                     strings in the windows command shell -- i would assume 
> "-Dsolr.ltr.enabled=true"
> 15:32 <@hoss:#solr> sigh ... yes, aparently windows things "=" is a shell 
> delimiter: https://ss64.com/nt/syntax-esc.html
> 15:33 <@hoss:#solr> s/shell delimiter/parameter delimiter in shell commands/
> 15:33 < sara_:#solr> you are genius!
> 15:34 < sara_:#solr> you and elyograg. you guys are fantastic. Saving me from 
> looking at the cmd script or shell script....
> 15:34 <@hoss:#solr> sara_: do i have your permission to copy/paste this 
> exchange into our bug tracker as a note about updating our docs 
>                     (and maybe making the solr.cmd smart enough to handle 
> this) ?
> 15:45 < sara_:#solr> sure of course
