I've just installed the version 7.1 of the MFP CLI on a Windows 10 VMware. JDK 1.8.0_92 is installed, and the JAVA_HOME env variable has been setup accordingly

Below is the error I get when trying the mfp start:

Other MFP CLI command seems to be working since I was able to add a WindowsPhone environment to my Hybrid app project...

Could someone please provide some help? Is the MFP CLI 7.1 supported on Windows 10?

Thanks

1. Provide your JAVA_HOME and your PATH to make sure JAVA_HOME is really there; 2. try with Java 1.7 - Idan Adar
@DoraC No it did not - Johan Mereaux
@IdanAdar I downgraded to Java7 and updated the env variables (please see the screenshot above). Still the same issue - Johan Mereaux
Can you try mfp stop, create a new hybrid app, and see if the issue still occurs? - DoraC
@DoraC I did as you advised. When run inside the new hybrid app folder, mfp start completes successfully. Any idea on what is wrong with the first app? Thanks - Johan Mereaux

In MFP 7.1, JDK 1.8 is not supported. Please use JDK 1.7.

Run mfp stop and try creating a new hybrid app to see if the issue is still occurring.

You can also remove the .war file and start the server again and it will rebuild the war file.
