    Description

      I'm trying to start server-eshell on a Windows system and get this error.

      C:\>"Program Files\Couchbase\Server\bin\couchbase-cli" server-eshell -c localhost -u Administrator -p asdasd
      		 
      WARNING: Cannot locate Couchbase erlang. Attempting to use non-Couchbase erlang
      		 
      ERROR: Unable to find the erl executable

      So I specify the erlang path

      C:\>"Program Files\Couchbase\Server\bin\couchbase-cli" server-eshell --erl-path "C:\Program Files\Couchbase\Server\bin"  -c localhost -u Administrator -p asdasd
      		 
      WARNING: Cannot locate Couchbase erlang. Attempting to use non-Couchbase erlang
      		 
      ERROR: Unable to find the erl executable

      I see the cbmgr.py code contains

              cb_erl = os.path.join(opts.erl_path, 'erl')
      		 
              if os.path.isfile(cb_erl):
      		 
                  path = cb_erl
      		 
              else:
      		 
                  _warning("Cannot locate Couchbase erlang. Attempting to use non-Couchbase erlang")
      		 
                  path = 'erl'

      If I change "erl" to "erl.exe" the binary is found.

             cb_erl = os.path.join(opts.erl_path, 'erl.exe')
