Hello,

I just installed Dremio to test the features in my Windows. After installing I tried to start and dremio was unable to start. I have:

_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)

_echo %JAVA\_HOME%_  
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0\_211

_echo %PATH%_  
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0\_211\bin;

What can I do more?  
My Dremio logs does not have any error or something to fix the problem.

Thank you,  
Francisca

On my PC I had to create this folder to resolve the problem: C:\tmp\dremio-support

@francisca.lima

Did you check both server.out and server.log?
