Thingsboard Windows Installation Error

Question

When i run the install.bat file on a windows 7 machine. i receive the following error:

Detecting Java version installed. Detecting if it is 64 bit machine CurrentVersion Detecting if it is 32 bit machine CurrentVersion 1.8 Java 1.8 found! Installing thingsboard ... Error: Could not find or load main class Files\thingsboard\lib\thingsboard.jar ThingsBoard installation failed!

I assumed it was reading the BASE file directory incorrectly. So I it to the absolute directory location as shown below:

SET BASE="C:\Program Files\thingsboard"
SET LOADER_PATH=%BASE%\conf,%BASE%\extensions
SET SQL_DATA_FOLDER=%BASE%\data\sql
SET jarfile=%BASE%\lib\thingsboard.jar
SET installDir=%BASE%\data

I get the following error:

Detecting Java version installed. Detecting if it is 64 bit machine CurrentVersion Detecting if it is 32 bit machine CurrentVersion 1.8 Java 1.8 found! Installing thingsboard ...

What am I doing wrong?

The quotes seem to be a problem.

C:\ Program Files\thingsboard\conf\"C:\Program Files\thingsboard"\logs\install.log java.io.FileNotFoundException: "C:\Program Files\thingsboard"\logs\install.log

Have you tried to use SET BASE=%ProgramFiles%\thingsboard or escape the space in the path with a ^ SET BASE=C:\Program^ Files\thingsboard?

edit:

The problem is because of the space in the install dir.

I have tried to install it in "c:\test folder" and got the same problem. There was no problem when installing in a folder without space like "c:\test"

I changed the following part in the install.bat file and was able to install it in the folder with a space.

SET "BASE=%~dp0"
SET "LOADER_PATH=%BASE%conf,%BASE%extensions"
SET "SQL_DATA_FOLDER=%BASE%data\sql"
SET "jarfile=%BASE%lib\thingsboard.jar"
SET "installDir=%BASE%data"

PUSHD %BASE%conf

java -cp "%jarfile%" -Dloader.main=org.thingsboard.server.ThingsboardInstallApplication "-Dinstall.data_dir=%installDir%" -Dinstall.load_demo=%loadDemo% -Dspring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=none -Dinstall.upgrade=false "-Dlogging.config=%BASE%install\logback.xml" org.springframework.boot.loader.PropertiesLauncher

if errorlevel 1 (
   @echo ThingsBoard installation failed!
   POPD
   exit /b %errorlevel%
)
POPD

"%BASE%thingsboard.exe" install
