I've moved your post from the old topic because it's not clear the problems are related.

Can you answer these questions?

1. Are you following the instructions at [https://docs.opendatakit.org/aggregate-install](https://docs.opendatakit.org/aggregate-install)?
2. What version of Windows and Java are you using?
3. What you have you tried to fix the problem?
4. Anything else we should know or have? If you have a test form or screenshots or logs, please attach.
