Please provide the exact commands you used to install Erlang and RabbitMQ, as well as the output of those commands. If you just double-clicked both installers and followed the defaults, please say so.

[noobwu]

I installed it by default by double-clicking on the installer

Please see the steps I used here and compare with yours:

I don't have access to "Windows 10 IoT Enterprise Edition" but I can't imagine it's that much different as far as RabbitMQ is concerned.

[michaelklishin]

undef for rabbit:boot/0 means something is off with the way the code path of the node is set up.

See a number of known Windows-specific issues. You can have more than one Erlang version installed or use a directory with non-ASCII characters (support for which has been somewhat improved in 3.11.1 but we still highly recommend against using them in installation and node data directory paths).

[noobwu]

Thank you very much! I'll try it sometime.

What's your installation folder destination?
I've had exact same problem it installs but it won't run it shuts down immediately, my folder where to install was on D drive.
After some time when you run installation again(reinstall it not uninstall) it works perfectly, after checking installation process it installs plugins by default on C drive and not on D where i put the installation folder. So either run the installer twice or copy plugins from C drive to your RabbitMQ folder on D drive.

@mgrbes @noobwu please see this issue: rabbitmq/rabbitmq-packaging#28

You can work around it by specifying the installation directory on the command line -

rabbitmq/rabbitmq-packaging#28 (comment)

.\rabbitmq-server-3.11.2.exe /D=D:\Program Files\RabbitMQ Server

Note that /D must be the last argument and that you should not double-quote the argument, even if it has spaces.

[noobwu]

Thank you very much!

[noobwu]

PS E:\Software> .\rabbitmq-server-3.11.2.exe /D=E:\Program Files\RabbitMQ Server
After installation, RabbitMQ can be started normally according to the instructions you provided.

Thank you for following up.
