I can just the error message.
What would you like it to say?
"Module java.instrument may be missing"
Technically it may be that the java.instrument module is not observable 
but saying that it may not be in the run-time image is probably clearer 
to the clearer. The main thing is to connect it to the java.instrument 
module, other details are useful too, say where someone has a corrupt 
installation or the wrong permissions on the library.
