I see actually you don't need it OOTB.
Most of the time simply it's simply a shortcut to name the directory where you
have installed OFBiz
In rare specific cases, mostly in few bash scripts, it's used as an environment
variable.
Also for Christian the problem can't be the definition of JAVA_HOME since he
gets Gradle to run and got this message
Process 'command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_151\bin\java.exe''
finished with non-zero exit value 1
Which proves Windows knows where the Java JDK is and Gradle uses it, right
Christian?
But maybe there is a confusion we can't see (I use Windows 7)
I'd try to uninstall the JRE and have only the JDK installed to avoid any
confusion

I guess it's not needed, but ran across some documents on ofbiz.apache.org that
recommend setting it.

Hi Tim,
Why do you define OFBIZ_HOME?

Hi Christian,
Did you try setting environment variables for JAVA_HOME and OFBIZ_HOME?
https://www.mkyong.com/java/how-to-set-java_home-on-windows-10/
Follow the instructions in the above to set:
JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_151 OFBIZ_HOME =
C:\apache-ofbiz-16.11.03
Make sure the bin folder is in the root of C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_151.
Make sure the application, framework, etc... folders are in the root of
C:\apache-ofbiz-16.11.03.
Then try recompiling.

Subject: Cannot install apache-ofbiz-16.11.03 on windows 10
Hello all,
I do not get OFBiz istalled on my Windows 10 computer. I have tried any
combination I could come up with. Different loading locations. All currently
available Java versions from Oracle. Nothing seem to work. I am not a
programmer.
What I did for example is:
OFBiz to C:\apache-ofbiz-16.11.03
Java to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_151 and C:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.8.0_151
I used the commands gradlew cleanAll loadDefault or gradlew loadDefault ofbiz and I tried to change locations for OFBiz and Java. In addition, I tried the latest version of Java.
All I am getting is:
C:\apache-ofbiz-16.11.03>gradlew cleanAll loadDefault :clean :cleanAnt
:cleanCatalina :cleanData :cleanDownloads :cleanEclipseClasspath
UP-TO-DATE :cleanEclipseJdt UP-TO-DATE :cleanEclipseProject UP-TO-DATE

It seems that there might be a problem with windows 10.
Does someone have a solution?
Thanks a lot.
