[rabbitmq-discuss] ERLANG_HOME not set correctly

Wed Oct 17 15:22:23 BST 2012

Are these win64? Does C:\Program Files\erl5.9.2\bin not exist even after 
installing Erlang?

There is a bug in some versions of the 64 bit Erlang installer which 
does not install the MSVC runtime if it is not already installed, 
leading to a completely broken installation.

If this happened to you, please completely uninstall Erlang and 
RabbitMQ, then install the fixed Erlang from:

http://www.erlang.org/download/otp_win64_R15B02_with_MSVCR100_installer_fix.exe

then RabbitMQ.

Cheers, Simon
