I am happy to report after I download from the 7.2 trunk. I was able to run kafka following the quickstart on Windows without any major problem. Kudos to you all. Good job!!
A minor issue, if you run the commands from Kafka top level directory like this: bin\kafka-console-producer.bat --zookeeper localost:2181 --topic test You'll get below error complaining it can't find kafka-run-class.bat. 'kafka-run-class.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Instead go to the bin directory and run the commands or modify the .bat file to include the path to the run-class .bat.

Thanks for all the replies. I downloaded the 0.72 source as you mentioned below. My question is what does the patch do? Can I download the patch and apply to 0.72 source?

I ported them for both 7.2 and 8.0 but the patch was only commited for the 8.0 branch. You can find the 7.2 scripts here : https://github.com/avianey/kafka/tree/0.7.2 2012/12/5 Johan Lundahl <[email protected]> > I've been testing 0.72 successfully on windows but converted the start > scripts myself.
