Hi Manish, I have never installed Kafka on Windows, I can just point you to some relevant information.
See for example the following e-mail on the user mailing list about running Kafka on Windows: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/kafka-users/201906.mbox/%3CCANmFojrU9hg6Gs-pkkMqh__7Na2eVTQFbRpuG0oe-Rgvx1vwHw%40mail.gmail.com%3E There are also some tickets in JIRA. See for example https://jira.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-6188.
