Question posted in 
About 1 month ago I still can run TeamCity server but up to now, it said that Java executable of version 1.8 is not found.
I have set Environment Variables:
JAVA_HOME=C:Program FilesJavajdk-11.0.1
JRE_HOME=C:Program FilesJavajre1.8.0_192
CATALINA_HOME=C:apache-tomcat-9.0.12
In Path variables, I have set it to:
%JAVA_HOME%bin;%JRE_HOME%bin;%CATALINA_HOME%lib
But it still says that it couldn’t found JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME.
The TeamCity server logs I have attached below.

I found my solution after read this answer What is the reason for '...' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file? . Basically TeamCity only get
JRE_HOMEvariable, not thePathvariable so it doesn't have..binin it. I just edit theJRE_HOMEwhen setup TeamCity and it worked.I’ve had a similar issue and was able to resolve it by doing the following:
I ran into this also. It turns out the answer was debugging the ‘findstr’ errors earlier in the log. For some reason, my Windows build server had lost ‘C:WindowsSystem32’ on its PATH. ‘Findstr’ is used by a teamcity internal batch file to parse Java’s version. This causes the startup script to fall back and assume Java was not installed. Once I added this directory back into the path, the server started up just fine.
