When we download the binary of apache-jmeter-x x tgz  where x could be any version of apache Jmeter  ApacheJMeter jar must present inside apache-jmeter-x bin folder   if it is not present somewhere your package not downloaded properly  Cause could be slow internet  or improper shutdown Download package again and make sure  ApacheJMeter jar present in  apache-jmeter-x bin folder  Once it is present hit sh jemeter sh

This error could also happen because of version mismatch of jmeter and java  As jmeter versions supports different java versions as below     Download the zip accordingly and you are good to go

I m running JMeter 2 8  Windows 7  and received a message similar to that in the original post   C   gt jmeter Error  Unable to access jarfile C  local software jMeter apache-jmeter-2 8 binApacheJMeter jar errorlevel 1 Press any key to continue         I d created a Windows environment variable JMETER BIN and set it to the JMeter path which I could see contained ApacheJMeter jar  so it wasn t a question that the jar was missing    I should have noticed at the time this portion of the error   binApacheJMeter jar   When I went to the jmeter bat file to troubleshoot  I noticed this line    JM START   JM LAUNCH   ARGS   JVM ARGS  -jar   JMETER BIN ApacheJMeter jar   JMETER CMD LINE ARGS    and that caused me to revisit the  binApacheJMeter jar  portion of the error   What was happening was that the batch file was requiring a trailing slash on the end of the path in the JMETER BIN environment variable to correctly specify the location of the  jar   Once I corrected my environment variable  adding the trailing slash  all was wonderful   YMMV  but this worked for me
