Hi @SaiCharan,

I have discovered that you will encounter this error if the user running the Bamboo server service has a local/user defined path variable in addition to the system defined one.  That bug is captured here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-16205

The workaround is to delete the user defined PATH variable and things should start working for you.

I hope that helps!
