What problem are you trying to solve?

During the windows installer and/or Chocolatey I'm getting an error message 'rabbitmq-service.bat install exited with code 1'. The installation is failing to install at the service. The log shows this error message 'C:\Program Files\Erlang OTP\erts-14.2.5.6\bin\erlsrv: Unrecognized option {child_type,worker}].' I've encountered this several times over the past two years at different customer environments across multiple versions. Typically a workaround is to add the 'set HOMEDRIVE=C:\Program Files\RabbitMQ Server' line in the rabbitmq-env.bat file and manually recreate the service. I have two servers in this current environment and this workaround worked on one server but is not working on the other. I'm limited to what I can/cannot copy from the environment.

You should use set HOMEDRIVE=C:

I'm assuming you can't consistently reproduce this issue, which means it's environment or server specific.

If I have time, I will ensure that RabbitMQ 4.0.7 and Erlang 27.3 install successfully on a clean Windows Server 2022 VM.
