Issue of the topic: start.bat gives error
Hi,
first time user of openhab trying to set it up. I’m stuck when using c:\openHab\start.bat
gives me the error:
C:\openHAB2>start.bat
Launching the openHAB runtime…
\Belgium was unexpected at this time.
system variables:
JAVA_HOME
C:\Program Files (x86)\java\zulu9.0.1.3-jdk9.0.1-win_i686
already tried to quote the whole string and reboot but no changes are made to the error…
When editting start.bat there is a command “set local”. Not really sure what this does…
rebooted my system and tried it again, resulting in the same error:
C:\openHAB2>start.bat Launching the openHAB runtime… \Belgium was unexpected at this time.
C:\openHAB2>java -version java version “1.8.0_211” Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_211-b12) Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.211-b12, mixed mode)
Often, when one sees very strange errors like this (what does this even mean? Did Belgium show up unannounced to a party?) a search on Google (or your engine of choice) will be illuminating.
my search on google wasn’t illuminating, maybe i wasn’t clear enough? Or maybe i didn’t asked the right question to google. tried serveral ways and several searches. Maybe i wasn’t persistant enough…anyway i will check that out! thx!
Okay, that really was the solution! Thank you Rich!
I’m a bit concerned about my searching behavior and my luck with google
First searched google (not good enough) and then i searched this forum for the error (no hit). Then removed all java shizzle, reboot and all the shizzle again, reinstalled and then frustrated went to the forum Thank you again, could have done this on my own actually
