I tried with cygwin and there are couple of problems

First I had to run dos2unix on all utilities without which they were errors

After the process, I am still getting
NoClassDefFoundError:org/apache/hadoop/util/PlatformName

However I am able to format DFS and create directories

Thanks for help. I will continue to check if Hadoop works with these errors

Hadoop should work on Windows, but it requires cygwin.

Are you using cygwin?  If so, what version of Hadoop, and what sort of
problems are you having?
