Hi Christian, Did you try setting environment variables for JAVA_HOME and OFBIZ_HOME?
https://www.mkyong.com/java/how-to-set-java_home-on-windows-10/ Follow the instructions in the above to set: JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_151 OFBIZ_HOME = C:\apache-ofbiz-16.11.03 Make sure the bin folder is in the root of C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_151. Make sure the application, framework, etc... folders are in the root of C:\apache-ofbiz-16.11.03. Then try recompiling. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: Christian Vetterli [mailto:purduealu...@gmx.ch] Sent: Friday, December 22, 2017 8:59 AM To: user@ofbiz.apache.org Subject: Cannot install apache-ofbiz-16.11.03 on windows 10 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: C:\apache-ofbiz-16.11.03>gradlew cleanAll loadDefault :clean :cleanAnt :cleanCatalina :cleanData :cleanDownloads :cleanEclipseClasspath UP-TO-DATE :cleanEclipseJdt UP-TO-DATE :cleanEclipseProject UP-TO-DATE :cleanEclipse UP-TO-DATE :cleanFooterFiles :cleanGradle :cleanIndexes :cleanLogs :cleanOutput :cleanTempfiles :cleanUploads :cleanXtra :cleanAll :compileJava Note: Some input files use unchecked or unsafe operations.
