Giacomo Boccardo added a comment - 2015-11-25 15:14 - edited I cannot reproduce the error. It has been probably solved by one of Jenkins' updates I installed so far. However, I need to run the slave agent with administrative privileges to avoid: org.jenkinsci.lib.envinject.EnvInjectException: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\jenkins\tools\hudson.model.JDK\JDK17AutoPerTestareInstallazioneSuWindows\jdk.exe" (in directory "C:\jenkins\tools\hudson.model.JDK\JDK17AutoPerTestareInstallazioneSuWindows"): CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation at org.jenkinsci.plugins.envinject.service.EnvInjectVariableGetter.getBuildVariables(EnvInjectVariableGetter.java:91) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.envinject.EnvInjectListener.setUpEnvironmentWithoutJobPropertyObject(EnvInjectListener.java:233) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.envinject.EnvInjectListener.setUpEnvironment(EnvInjectListener.java:46) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.createLauncher(AbstractBuild.java:575) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.run(AbstractBuild.java:495) at hudson.model.Run.execute(Run.java:1741) at hudson.maven.MavenModuleSetBuild.run(MavenModuleSetBuild.java:531) at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:98) at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:408) Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\jenkins\tools\hudson.model.JDK\JDK17AutoPerTestareInstallazioneSuWindows\jdk.exe" (in directory "C:\jenkins\tools\hudson.model.JDK\JDK17AutoPerTestareInstallazioneSuWindows"): CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(Unknown Source) at hudson.Proc$LocalProc.<init>(Proc.java:244) at hudson.Proc$LocalProc.<init>(Proc.java:216) at hudson.Launcher$LocalLauncher.launch(Launcher.java:816) at hudson.Launcher$ProcStarter.start(Launcher.java:382) at hudson.Launcher$RemoteLaunchCallable.call(Launcher.java:1149) at hudson.Launcher$RemoteLaunchCallable.call(Launcher.java:1114) at hudson.remoting.UserRequest.perform(UserRequest.java:120) at hudson.remoting.UserRequest.perform(UserRequest.java:48) at hudson.remoting.Request$2.run(Request.java:326) at hudson.remoting.InterceptingExecutorService$1.call(InterceptingExecutorService.java:68) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at hudson.remoting.Engine$1$1.run(Engine.java:62) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) at ......remote call to Jenkins-win(Native Method) at hudson.remoting.Channel.attachCallSiteStackTrace(Channel.java:1416) at hudson.remoting.UserResponse.retrieve(UserRequest.java:220) at hudson.remoting.Channel.call(Channel.java:781) at hudson.Launcher$RemoteLauncher.launch(Launcher.java:929) at hudson.Launcher$ProcStarter.start(Launcher.java:382) at hudson.Launcher$ProcStarter.join(Launcher.java:389) at hudson.tools.JDKInstaller.install(JDKInstaller.java:268) at hudson.tools.JDKInstaller.performInstallation(JDKInstaller.java:141) at hudson.tools.InstallerTranslator.getToolHome(InstallerTranslator.java:68) at hudson.tools.ToolLocationNodeProperty.getToolHome(ToolLocationNodeProperty.java:108) at hudson.tools.ToolInstallation.translateFor(ToolInstallation.java:206) at hudson.model.JDK.forNode(JDK.java:132) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.envinject.service.EnvInjectVariableGetter.getBuildVariables(EnvInjectVariableGetter.java:86) ... 8 more Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation at java.lang.ProcessImpl.create(Native Method) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(Unknown Source) at hudson.Proc$LocalProc.<init>(Proc.java:244) at hudson.Proc$LocalProc.<init>(Proc.java:216) at hudson.Launcher$LocalLauncher.launch(Launcher.java:816) at hudson.Launcher$ProcStarter.start(Launcher.java:382) at hudson.Launcher$RemoteLaunchCallable.call(Launcher.java:1149) at hudson.Launcher$RemoteLaunchCallable.call(Launcher.java:1114) at hudson.remoting.UserRequest.perform(UserRequest.java:120) at hudson.remoting.UserRequest.perform(UserRequest.java:48) at hudson.remoting.Request$2.run(Request.java:326) at hudson.remoting.InterceptingExecutorService$1.call(InterceptingExecutorService.java:68) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at hudson.remoting.Engine$1$1.run(Engine.java:62) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Is it the expected behavior?

Nadeem Shaikh added a comment - 2018-01-01 00:06 I was able to resolve this by running the cmd as administrator and starting the tomcat from cmd.

Mark Waite added a comment - 2022-09-07 14:56 No further work on this. Windows 8.1 is unsupported by Microsoft and by the Jenkins project
