Confluent Platform error while starting zookeeper - Classpath is empty

Question

I downloaded Confluent Platform in my local windows machine & tried to start zookeeper, but it is giving me below error:

c:\confluent>.\bin\windows\zookeeper-server-start.bat .\etc\kafka\zookeeper.prop
erties
Classpath is empty. Please build the project first e.g. by running 'gradlew jarA
ll'

thankks Peter, but i am getting above error while setting confluent-kafka. — Rahul Verma, May 19 '20 at 07:31
The problem occurs when you download and use source downloads instead of binary downloads. — Valentina, May 21 '20 at 07:46

@Valentina Uh. That's Groovy. What's your point? You can't do that for Confluent Platform — OneCricketeer, May 26 '20 at 23:58

Confluent does not test their products on Windows, last I heard.

The recommendation is to install WSL or use the Confluent Docker containers.
