I thought this issue has been there for a long time on Windows. I see a similar issue too while starting kafka on Windows if the path is too long.
In my setup I have short path names. Ex: D:\kafka\. If I have longer paths like (D:\myuser\project1\kafka), it gives me an error similar to what you mentioned.
