Jboss 7 fails to start in WIndows 7

Question

I am trying to install Jboss 7 on Windows 7 . Software version details are as follows:

Java: jdk1.8.0_20

Jboss: jboss-as-7.1.0

Following environmental variables are set

CLASSPATH:    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_20\bin
JAVA_HOME:    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_20

But while trying to start JBOSS , it is failing with the following error.

java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object

Any clues how to resolve the issue ?

Your OS Win7 is 32bit or 64 bit? and I hope you downloaded the respective 32bit or 64 bit Java JDK. — user1933888, Sep 30 '14 at 07:14

i think that the classpath should point to jars, not to scripts. read about the classpath and path here and here.

In the launch configuration, check that the right JRE System Library is on the Classpath
