Neo4j - Community-Server 4.1.3 installation-issues

[dionisios95]

Hello,
Ive tried to install the Neo4j-Community-Server Version 4.1.3. on my Windows 8.1. System. With the command "neo4j.bat install-service" on the bin-folder Ive got the error-Message: "Powershell could not be found". I dont even use Powershell. What did I wrong? I`ve tried that also with older neo4j-community-versions. Same problem.
Any recommends?

Hi @dionisios95 Welcome to the community!!

As per the installation requirements you need to have Powershell v2.0 or above (my recommendation go with v5 or above) for Windows installation:

Hi Vinoth,
I actually have the Powershell-Version 4.0, but on my bin/Neo4j-Management.psd1-file there is a line: PowerShellVersion = '2.0' . Is this normal or how can I upate this file?

Sorry my last comment was not very clear. I was reffering to JAVA_HOME environment variable.

Have you checked the below post:

Hi @sravyakapalavai, Have you done the steps above? Upgrading Powershell etc? If so - please can you answer these questions: How are you trying to install the server (full command line)? (are you running neo4j.bat for example) Are you running this as an Administrator? What version of Windows are you trying to run on? What version of PowerShell? $PSVersionTable.PSVersion will get you that. Are the files 'unblocked'? (Right click on the neo4j-community-3.5.2 folder and check if the prope…

Can please try with the steps mentioned in the above post.

Thank you @Vinoth.
My JAVA_HOME variable is on the "java\jdk-15" folder. My PS-Version is still 4.0 and the output of the command on the "Import-Module YOUR PATH\neo4j-community-4.1.3\bin\Neo4j-Management.psd1 -verbose" -command looks like that, but I have the same problem with "neo4j.bat install-service":

On which path should be my "Path"- variable from the System-variables? I have it on several path`s seperated by semicolons.
