I am not directly involved with this batch file, someone else might help. But as a community member I can suggest altering the question such that it has what you are trying to achieve, what command was run and it's response. Use code blocks – zur

Most probably it indicates an issue with your JMeter installation, i.e.

  1. Make sure to download the binary, not the source

    enter image description here

  2. Make sure to download it fully (i.e. check sha512 or pgp of the downloaded archive)

    enter image description here

    for JMeter 5.3 it should be equal to what you see at https://downloads.apache.org/jmeter/binaries/apache-jmeter-5.3.zip.sha512 URL

  3. Make sure to have JDK or server JRE of version not less than 8 for JMeter 5.3, you can get it i.e. from OpenJDK project page

  4. java.exe should be on your operating system PATH

  5. If you have problems with jmeter.bat script you can always launch JMeter as:

    java -jar ApacheJMeter.jar

    from the "bin" folder of your JMeter installation
