Hello @sai pokala, Welcome to Atlassian Community!

As per your description, it appears you are missing a space between "Program" and "Files" on both JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME environment variables values.

C:\Program Files\Bamboo>echo %JAVA_HOME%
C:\ProgramFiles\Java\jdk-18.0.2.1\bin

C:\Program Files\Bamboo>echo %JRE_HOME%
C:\ProgramFiles\Java\jre1.8.0_341\bin

Alternatively, you can use "C:\PROGRA~1" to avoid spaces.

Please fix that and try again.

Kind regards,
