Create new beat fails at make set up

[Anjana (Anjana Asok)]

Hi,

I am trying to create a new beat in Windows and it fails when I run the make command. I get the below error

C:\Users\anjana\go\src\github.com\Anjana\xstorebeat>make setup
C:\Users\anjana\go\bin\mage.exe
panic: failed determine libbeat dir location: failed to find github.com/elastic/beats/dev-tools/mage in the project's vendor

Beats development is not well supported on windows. All this process is best focused on linux environments. This happened to me and was the only way i found to solve it.
