title: Ejabbered installation issue for Windows
body: <p>I tried to install ejabberd 2.1.11 for windows on my Windows system, but at the final stage of installation it given post installation error. Couple of some of the last lines in the intallation logs says: </p>
  
  <p>***Executing final installation script
  Error executing post installation script
  C:\Program Files (x86)\ejabberd-2.1.11\bin\postinstall.cmd
  ./ejabberdctl: erl.exe: can't execute: (14001) Error 14001
  Creating Uninstalle***r</p>
  
  <p>Though the shortcuts are created on the system but trying to start the server gives following error</p>
  
  <p><strong><em>./ejabberdctl: erl.exe: can't execute: (14001) Error 14001</em></strong></p>
  
  <p>The VC++ 2008 is already installed on the system. While searching I found the following post on stackoverflow:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18143080/how-to-install-ejabberd-community-version-on-windows-xp">How to install ejabberd community version on Windows XP?</a></p>
  
  <p>But this too did not help. Has anyone else encountered the same scenario? Your suggestion would be greatly appreciated.</p>
