Remote Engine installation fails with 'Error running C:\TalendRemoteEngine/bin/client.bat -a 8104 -h localhost -u tadmin "feature:install wrapper"'

Problem Description

Installing the Remote Engine, fails with the following error:

Root Cause

The values of the %JAVA_HOME% and %PATH% environment variables are not set correctly.

• %JAVA_HOME% should point to the Java bin directory most of the time.

• An example of a correct JAVA_HOME variable, might look like this:

  C:\remote-engine-2.1.0\bin>echo %JAVA_HOME%
  C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_144

• After Installation, the application should be run with the Run as administrator option.

Solution

1. Download a new Remote Engine installer, and run the installer in the Run as administrator mode.
