I'm trying to install a trial version of Jira Server 7.10 on Windows 10.
I have downloaded the installer and run it as administrator. It goes through the first "We are setting up the install wizard" progress bar, then prompts for my password. Then nothing. I can't run a new instance. Task Manager shows three instances of the executable, sitting there doing nothing.
Suspecting some corporate firewall thing, I downloaded and extracted the ZIP version of the installer. Running start-jira.bat as administrator from the extracted folder shows a quick command line window that closes itself before I can read the text.
Similarly, running ./start-jira.sh in Windows PowerShell (as administrator) opened a new command line window that seemed to run the batch file and then exit, too quickly to read it.
I tried the -fg switch and redirecting to a log file ( ./start-jira.sh -fg > jirastart.out ), but the log file was empty.
Where do I go from here?
