Troubleshoot Data Loader from the command line

HI,
I have a problem when I try to run the Encrypt.bat file in the data loader using the command prompt. I installed ava 8 Update 202 (64-bit), Java(TM) SE Development Kit 11.0.2 (64-bit). Zulu 11.29 (64-bit) then I installed Data Loader version 45.0.0.
As I want to use command line interface datta loader first i tried to run encrypt.bat. The following problem occurs:
c:\Program Files (x86)\salesforce.com\Data Loader\bin>encrypt.bat -g test
Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/salesforce/dataloader/security/EncryptionUtil has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0

I tried different versions of java jdk and jre but the result seems the same. Do you have some suggestions? 
thank you

I'm having this exact same problem.  I've tried updating environment variables and matching versions between 32-bit/64-bit and jre/jdk.  No luck.

Yep, same issue here. Any solutions found yet?

Just figured out the solution. You have to point JAVA_HOME to the Zulu JDK that the DataLoader now ships with. So, in this case, run as admin:

setx -m JAVA_HOME "C:\Program Files\Zulu\zulu-11"

(Not sure if this is "best" way to do this, as I think this makes the value "permanent" and is applied across the entire system, so I assume this may break other Java apps that also refer to JAVA_HOME but need a "standard" version of Java.

Hi Suman,
How do you point JAVA_HOME to Zulu JDK in Mac OS?

Hi James, I got this error long back in windows. As far as I can recall the resolution, can you try few options like setting proper environment variables path of Zulu, few changes to the files in the Zulu folder of the c drive program files.. while modifying the file contents plz refer some other sources.. Thanks, Suman Kumar
