Your help will be appreciated.

Looks like you don't have JRE installed (Java Runtime Environment). Dowload installer from Oracle, install it and add folder with java.exe to PATH environment variable (see second answer from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1672281/environment-variables-for-java-installation) — csharpfolk, Nov 13 '16 at 10:16

You need to add bin folder of your JDK or JRE to PATH so JMeter could find the existing Java installation. If you have just installed JRE - restart CMD process so it could pick up the relevant PATH entries.

Also make sure that java -version command reports you're sitting on JDK or JRE not earlier than 1.7

set JAVA_HOME environment variable.

To install a release build, simply unzip the zip/tar file into the directory where you want JMeter to be installed. Provided that you have a JRE/JDK correctly installed and the JAVA_HOME environment variable set, there is nothing more for you to do.

Note: There can be problems (especially with client-server mode) if the directory path contains any spaces.
