realFranco opened a new pull request, #19703:
URL: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/19703
## Info
- Remove the `wmic` dependency while run `kafka-server-start.bat` script in
order to defined the `KAFKA_HEAP_OPTS` if is not previously defined.
## Why
- If the host machine do not have the `wmic` dependency, the execution will
gonna fail;
- If the host machine contains restrictions about the way of:
- install dependencies;
- environment variables;
- `PATH` modifications the Kafka service won't start.
## Evidence
```bash
# powershell
systeminfo
Host Name: ...
OS Name: ... Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise
OS Version: ... 10.0.26100 ...
...
System Type: ... x64-based PC
...
```
A way of execute Kafka (one of the possible many ways) and the error
expected:
```bash
# powershell
cd C:\directory\kafka; .\bin\windows\kafka-server-start.bat
.\config\server.properties
'wmic' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
```
After apply the contribution we have Kafka working as expected.
## Disclaimer
UNIX user here, I do not invest to much time about the collateral damage
and/or why the `wmic` is required.
