I just downloaded the GlassFish 5.0 archive - Full Platform, unzipped it, I run it through the command line.

I tried to set the path in the file asenv.bat -> set path = C:/.../Java/bin - did not help. Tried so to launch: asadmin start-domain domain1 - did not help.

Installed: jdk-9.0.1 Also tried on the 8th, did not help. What to do???

Answer 1

OK, Glassfish 5.1 doesn't exist for the moment. Continue with Glassfish 5.0 with this solution:

Just set the AS_JAVA variable in your asenv.bat file located here: C:DEVENVglassfish5glassfishconfig.

File to edit: add last line

Relaunch your server....enjoy :
