Unable to access Jarfile ApacheJMeter.jar

Question

Error: Unable to access Jarfile ApacheJMeter.jar Errorlevel=1 How i can remove this error with current version of Jmeter 3.1.0

Answer 1

Most likely your installation is corrupt, double check the following:

1. You have Java SDK or JRE version 7 (or higher), you can get the latest Java from Java SE Download Page. If you execute java -version command you should see something like:

   C:>java -version

   java version "1.8.0_112"

   Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_112-b15)

   Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.112-b15, mixed mode)

   Highlighted in bold numbers should be not less than 1.7

2. Double check downloaded JMeter bundle MD5 checksum, it should be equal to the one which is provided at JMeter Downloads page

3. Try running JMeter without help of startup scripts by executing the following command from JMeter's "bin" folder

   java -jar ApacheJMeter.jar
