Description

I have JAVA_HOME variable set as:
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_17

When I try to run any of the .bat files from Geronimo bin folder I get the following error:

> \Java\jdk1.6.0_17\jre) was unexpected at this time.

I tried to quote JAVA_HOME as:
> set JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_17"
and got the same error.

Parentheses are probably the problem ...
