Solr Start Error

I am trying to install Solr on Windows 7 running Apache server. I navigate to the installation folder solr-5.4.0 and run bin/solr start. But I keep getting the following error:

This script requires extracting a WAR file with either the jar or unzip utility, please install these utilities or contact your administrator for assistance.

Here is my Java version:

$ java -version 
java version "1.8.0_66"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_66-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.66-b18, mixed mode)

I have also set the JAVA_HOME variable.

I think Java should be extracting the WAR file. I've found several technical discussions related to this on apache site, such as here, but can't find any clear resolution. Does anyone know how to fix this? If the answer involves installing a patch, how would I do that?

On Windows you should be using solr.cmd per the Solr reference guide.

bin\solr.cmd start
