Dear community,
after a while I tried to open RapidMiner studio. I´m already using .bat file to open, because "standard" start shows me Java error. But now I´m not able to open in via .bat file either. I tried to reinstall program but it didn´t help. It shows me following error.
SEVERE: Error while starting up RapidMiner Studio, Controller shutdown.
java.lang.NullPointerException

You're starting RapidMiner Studio with Java 17. Unfortunately, we only support Java 11 at this point in time. The error you're getting is a direct result of that.
