Arina Ielchiieva commented on DRILL-5679:
-----------------------------------------
[~bbevens] I think this was meant for both but there is no need to mention
that, it's just a general pre-requisites for Windows installation.

Click New, and enter JAVA_HOME as the variable name. For the variable value,
enter the path to your JDK installation. Instead of using Program Files in the
path name, use progra~1. This is required because Drill cannot use file paths
with spaces.
{quote}
Not all users have Java installed in Program Files directory, user can chose
any directory during Java installation. I guess you just should mention that.

> Key: DRILL-5679
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5679
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Task
> Affects Versions: 1.10.0
> Reporter: Arina Ielchiieva
> Assignee: Bridget Bevens
> Priority: Major
> Labels: doc-complete
> Fix For: Future
>
>
> There is general requirement that JAVA_HOME variable should not contain
> spaces.
> For example, during Drill installation in distributed mode on Windows user
> can see the following error:
> {noformat}
> C:\Drill/bin/runbit: line 107: exec: C:\Program: not found
> {noformat}
> There are two options to fix this problem:
> {noformat}
> 1. Install JAVA in directory without spaces.
> 2. Replace "Program Files" in your JAVA_HOME variable to progra~1 or progra~2
> (if in x86).
> Example: JAVA_HOME="C:\progra~1\Java\jdk1.7.0_71"
> {noformat}
