title: Problems installing JMeter
body: <p>I just downloaded the latest version of JMeter from <a href="http://jmeter.apache.org/download_jmeter.cgi" rel="nofollow">http://jmeter.apache.org/download_jmeter.cgi</a> , and unzipped the files. I tried jmeter from bat and then got an error saying that the JAR file was missing. Then I copied the JAR file in the bin directory and I get the following error : - </p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\workspace\apache-jmeter-2.11\bin&gt;jmeter.bat
