Spark on Windows 2008 R2 serv er does not work

[Wang, Ningjun (LNG-NPV)]

I download and install  spark-1.2.0-bin-hadoop2.4.tgz pre-built version on 
Windows 2008 R2 server. When I submit a job using spark-submit, I got the 
following error

WARN org.apache.hadoop.util.NativeCodeLoader: Unable to load native-hadoop 
library for your platform
... using builtin-java classes where applicable
ERROR org.apache.hadoop.util.Shell: Failed to locate the winutils binary in the

Please advise. Thanks.
