Description

We are unable to start version 2.2.1 on our Windows 2012 R2 systems, however we can use the same environment to start version 2.1.2

I have attached our Cassandra.yaml and cassandra-env.ps1 file for reference. I have also attached the system.log file displaying the error.

I have also included an excerpt of the log file showing the stack trace of the error.
