Nifi commands on windows

Question

In my current project, I have been using apache-nifi on Windows operating system. I have extracted nifi-0.7.0-bin.zip file in C:\. Now, when I run \bin\run-nifi.bat as an administrator I see the following message on the command line and I am not able to run nifi. Could you please suggest what should I do in order to run the nifi.

the content of app.log file as follows

I recommend running NiFi with the current directory context in the bin directory:

Open a new command prompt window
Change to the NiFi bin directory, cd c:\nifi-0.7\bin
From c:\nifi-0.7\bin, execute run-nifi.bat

I believe run-nifi.bat depends on finding nifi-env.bat in the current directory, rather than finding it relative to its own path. If you ran C:\...\nifi-0.7.0\bin\run-nifi.bat, I think you would see that error.
