> Hello all,
> I do not get OFBiz istalled on my Windows 10 computer. I have tried any combination I could come up with. Different loading locations. All currently available Java versions from Oracle. Nothing seem to work. I am not a programmer.
>
> What I did for example is:
> OFBiz to C:\apache-ofbiz-16.11.03
> Java to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_151 and C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_151
>
> I used the commands gradlew cleanAll loadDefault or gradlew loadDefault ofbiz and I tried to change locations for OFBiz and Java. In addition, I tried the latest version of Java.
> All I am getting is:
