Problem running under Windows 8.1

1

JDK : JDK 1.7/1.8 (I tried both)
Environment: Windows 8.1
Problem: unable to execute java -jar metabase.jar (which is running perfectly for the earlier versions)

Here is the console log:

It’s possible that a database lock was left in place and not properly cleaned up. Try running java -jar metabase.jar migrate release-locks and see if that does the trick. After running that command just try starting Metabase as usual again.

This is noted here in our docs … http://www.metabase.com/docs/v0.16.1/operations-guide/start.html#troubleshooting-common-problems

I’m still facing the same issues after performing these steps:

  1. del all the metabase h2 related files
  2. run java -jar metabase.jar migrate release-locks
  3. run java -jar metabase.jar

Observations:

  1. Same error log appears at console
  2. metabase h2 related files are actually being re-created

Questions:

  1. Is there any problem if I perform the steps in JDK 8?
