Why are you starting the broker in this way instead of using one of the
supplied .BAT files? Are you sure the shell environment is correctly
populated for that to succeed?

"ENOENT" means "No such file or directory". Are you sure you have a Z:
drive? If you have installed the broker manually then make sure you read
