Hello I am baffled by a faulty installation on Windows. Thus far I’ve tried to reinstall Java and update the jdk environment variable with no success. Here is my log.

I will appreciate any assistance, thank you very much.

Hello njdewaal

It seems that resolving the JAVA\_HOME environment variable is a problem. The Windows service runs with elevated privileges, so it tries to resolve JAVA\_HOME from system environment and not from user environment.

Could you please try to either set a JAVA\_HOME variable in your system environment or explicitly set the variable in your `scm-server.xml`?

```auto
<env name="JAVA_HOME" value="C:\Program Files\Eclipse Adoptium\jdk-11.0.14.9-hotspot" />

```

Regards,  
Matthias
