The Appian 17.1 Installation failed - quite a few questions on the Quick Installation Guide

Dear Appian community,

I just installed Appian latest verison (17.1) on my Windows laptop and installed Appian (including JBoss, MySQL) and started Appian and JBoss server.

There are multiple issues with the install, and I have installed it multiple times (like 5 times) on the two Windows 7 laptops.
1. I am following the Windows Quick Start guide as part of the 17.1 Appian installation guide.
docs.appian.com/.../Quick_Start_Installation_Guide_for_Windows_and_JBoss.html

In the document:
>>Create an Initial System Administrator Account
>> In order to create Appian users in the Administration Console, you will need to create a system administrator account at start-up.

>>In the <REPO_HOME>\\ear\\suite.ear\\conf directory, make a copy of passwords.properties.example and rename it to passwords.properties...
