When running server start in command box I’m getting this error

Cannot run program “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.12\bin\java.exe”: CreateProcess error=87, The parameter is incorrect
caused by: java.io.IOException
Cannot run program “C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.12\bin\java.exe”: CreateProcess error=87, The parameter is incorrect
caused by: java.io.IOException
CreateProcess error=87, The parameter is incorrect

I’ve tried a few different versions of java and moved the file location around. Uninstalled and reinstalled everything and the error is still persisting.

OS: Windows 10 Home - 20H2 - 19042.1466
Java Version: 11.0.12 2021-07-20 LTS

after a quick google, do you have some long paths somewhere in your config?

jarnaud · January 13, 2022, 10:06am

Nothing that i can see. I’ve tried moving the folder closer to C:/ and changing the path to the jdk but got the same error. Which config do you think i should look at for long paths?

andreas · January 13, 2022, 5:15pm

Did you try to install the “CommandBox” version with the included JRE here? That should run it’s own dedicated java and set all the java settings correctly.

Terry_Whitney · January 14, 2022, 2:11pm

enable longpaths

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]
"LongPathsEnabled"=dword:00000001

copy that to a file and name it, longpath.reg… or something.reg.
merge it to your registry and reboot

check your java path under environment variables. Make sure you do not have an = sign in your environment path.
