Jmeter _ Input file path setup in batch file

I tried to set input file path as below. But getting error as

"WARNING: Could not open/create prefs root node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs at root 0x80000002. Windows RegCreateKeyEx(...) returned error code 5.".

Can some one help me.

This is how I've configured:

cd D:\Automation\Jmeter_Param\apache-jmeter-4.0\apache-jmeter-4.0\bin\

set my_dataset=D:\Automation\Jmeter_Param\apache-jmeter-4.0\apache-jmeter-4.0\bin\Deactivate.csv

set my_txnset=D:\Automation\Jmeter_Param\apache-jmeter-4.0\apache-jmeter-4.0\bin\Deactivate\credentials_prod.csv

jmeter -n -t D:\Automation\Jmeter_Param\apache-jmeter-4.0\apache-jmeter-4.0\bin\Deactivate\Deactivate.jmx

Here my_dataset and my_txnset has been called out under Global and used.

As per JMeter release notes:

Note that under some windows systems you may have this WARNING:

java.util.prefs.WindowsPreferences
WARNING: Could not open/create prefs root node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs at root 0
x80000002. Windows RegCreateKeyEx(…) returned error code 5.

The fix is to run JMeter as Administrator, it will create the registry key for you, then you can restart JMeter as a normal user and you won't have the warning anymore.

So just run the command prompt as Administrator once and issue will go away.

Also be aware that according to 9 Easy Solutions for a JMeter Load Test “Out of Memory” Failure article you should always be using the latest version of JMeter so consider upgrading to JMeter 5.2.1 (or whatever is the latest stable version available at JMeter Downloads page) on next available opportunity
