ZBuild Setup Windows 7 Test Host Connection gets java.lang.nullNullPointerException
I have Windows XP and Windows 7 systems and have installed the latest RTC RDz 8.5.1.1/RTC 4.0.1 The zBuild Server server information is identical for both systems, When doing a test for XP it works but for Win 7 it fails with the exception. Any ideas? Checked for s/w updates and none were found. |

I just encountered this error. I think the issue is how Windows 7 treats specific folders. I found that the issue arises if I use any directory under C:\Users or either of the C:\Progam Files.
To fix I made a C:\BUILD directory and made sure it was not Read Only. Then in the zBuild Setup --> Build Base Directory, set the location to C:\BUILD. I am sure you can use whatever directory name you want, just keep it out of c:\users and c:\program files. If that doesn't work, I also have heard that at older levels of zBuild (2.0.x) you may have to also setup a Windows Environment variable. System properties --> Advanced --> Environment Variables --> System Variables --> New Variable Name: B390_BUILD_PATH Variable Value: C:\BUILD\ JAMES KENNELLY selected this answer as the correct answer
