Description

I am observing the following problem

On linux, if I delete the data dir, it is recreated.
On Windows, if I run the start.bat, the output is:

karaf.bat: Ignoring predefined value for KARAF_HOME
karaf.bat: KARAF_DATA is not valid: "C:\Users\Fabian\Downloads\apache-karaf-4.0.3\bin\..\data"
C:\Users\Fabian\Downloads\apache-karaf-4.0.3\bin>

I checked the difference, and right now I am actually wondering more why it works on linux, rather than why it doesn't on windows, but I think also n windows the data dir should be recreated.

STR:
Download Karaf 4.0.3 on windows.
unpack and delete data dir.
try to run start.bat

running karaf.bat will work however
