I downloaded the FitNesse standalone jar (Release 20150424) and tried to install it with the following command:
java -jar fitnesse-standalone.jar -v -p 8081
However I keep getting an exception. I am running the command from C:\Program Files\Fitnesse (the directory where fitnesse-standalone.jar is located).
I have java 7 JRE installed:
c:\Program Files\Fitnesse>java -version
java version "1.7.0_51"Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_51-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.51-b03, mixed mode)
But each time I run the command, I get the same exception:
c:\Program Files\Fitnesse>java -jar fitnesse-standalone.jar -p 8081

I know that this is essentially the same question as was asked here, but the solution from that question is not working in my case. I am running the command from the directory where the .jar file is located. I have also checked netstat to see if any web servers are already running and there is nothing using port 80, 8080, or 8081.
I am running on 64 bit version of Windows 7.
Why am I getting this exception?
I believe your running into problems because the installation is below c:\Program Files. I do not think by default you are allowed to create files there, you need to run as administrator.
Can you try:
C:\FitNesse\), and start from there
