Not Getting to "First Base"
Hi,
I'm having trouble getting activemq to start at all,
Error message is:
"Error: Could not find or load main class Files"
Note that I both my PATH and CLASSPATH variables are pointing to the
requisite jars.
So what else am I missing?
Thanks,
Tara

As I understand it, extended Windows paths always have an eight-character
short version formed by the first N characters (usually 6) plus ~ and one
or more digits. Usually "Program Files" was "PROGRA~1" (you can confirm
that by doing "dir C:\PROGRA~1" and seeing if it matches; if not, try
PROGRA~2, PROGRA~3, etc. till you find it), so you could try specifying the
path that way.

Yes, I am running with path name
C:\Program Files (x86)\apache-activemq-5.10.0\bin\activemq .
How else would I execute? I know Windows used to have nicknames for such
directories
as "Program Files (x86)" but it doesn't seem to have that now. (Or does
it? Pardon me,
I'm not a really bid proponent of Windows. Would rather be trying this on a
Linux box,
but I don't have that option. :) )
Even using an Explorer window and clicking on the activemq.bat yields the
same error.

Are you running Windows with a space in one of your directory names? The
first two search results I got when I Googled for your error message relate
to problems starting from a path with a space.
