Bamboo express installation hangs on "Please wait while Bamboo sets up your instance"

[Anna Allinger]

Hello,

I'm trying to set up Bamboo on my local computer. My express installation hangs more that 30 minutes on setting up the instance and is not finishing. Tried several times. Checked out the log in BAMBOO-HOME\logs and there I see a bunch of errors, e.g.:

2019-05-20 03:22:37,200 ERROR [http-nio-8085-exec-17] [DefaultDispatcherErrorHandler] Exception occurred during processing request: Unable to instantiate Action, com.atlassian.bamboo.ww2.actions.setup.SelectSetupStepAction, defined for 'selectSetupStep' in namespace '/bootstrap'Error creating bean with name 'reloadableBeanFactories' defined in class path resource [applicationContextPlugin.xml]: BeanPostProcessor before instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.transaction.config.internalTransactionAdvisor': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'org.springframework.transaction.annotation.AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource#0' while setting bean property 'transactionAttributeSource'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.transaction.annotation.AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource#0': BeanPostProcessor before instantiation of bean failed; 
I use jdk-12.0.1 and my JAVA_HOME environment variable is set correctly to the path "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.1"

The problem occured because I installed Java jdk 12 and it is not supported by Bamboo, so after removing it and installing jdk 1.8 instead the problem was resolved.

Installing jdk 1.8 worked for me too. Thanks!
