Error starting groovyserver \ Groovy \ Groovy-2.3.3 \ bin \ .. was unexpected at this time

Question

I just downloaded and installed Groovy 2.3.3 using the Windows installer. When I try to run some of the examples using groovyclient(which tries to run groovyserver), I get the following error.

\Groovy\Groovy-2.3.3\bin\.. was unexpected at the moment.

My Groovy_Homelooks like this: GROOVY_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\Groovy\Groovy-2.3.3

The full output is as follows:

C:\Users\Greg>groovyserver     
Groovy home directory: "C:\PROGRA~2\Groovy\GROOVY~1.3"
Groovy command path: "C:\PROGRA~2\Groovy\GROOVY~1.3\bin\groovy.bat" (found at GR
OOVY_HOME)
\Groovy\Groovy-2.3.3\bin\.. was unexpected at this time.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium - 64 bit

Answer 1

Not sure if this is a universal solution, but here's what worked for me on two separate machines running Windows 7 Home Premium (64) and Windows 7 Enterprise (64).
