Sounds to me like you should report an issue about this.

No, this is a community forum where users talk to each other and users like me help other users with their Gradle problems. The issue tracker is at GitHub · Where software is built

I followed the link from the actual error message to: [image] Gradle | Search for Help with Gradle Build Tool And on that page there was only: “Ask for help”, which brought me here. I’ll check that GitHub page.

The link for “Troubleshoot” on the page you mentioned also has a link to the issue tracker. Also, it is fine that you came here, you got help by being redirected to the right spot, didn’t you? :slight_smile:

I posted on the issue tracker. We will see if I get help. Thanks.

Seems the latest version of Gradle doesn’t work with Windows Server 2016. Only with 2019 and later.

It would probably make sense to also post the issue link here, so that future readers can follow it. :slight_smile:
