Go to Jenkins -  Manage Jenkins -  Configure System -  Global properties Check the box  Environment variables  and add the JAVA HOME path    C  Program Files Java jdk-10 0 1    Don t write bin at the end

This is happens because Jenkins is not aware about the shell path  In Manage Jenkins -  Configure System -  Shell  set the shell path as   C  Windows system32 cmd exe

Error shows that script does not exists  The file does not exists  check your full path  C  Windows TEMP hudson6299483223982766034 sh The system cannot find the file specified   Moreover  to launch  sh scripts into windows  you need to have CYGWIN installed and well configured into your path  Confirm that script exists   Into jenkins script  do the following to confirm that you do have the file   cd C  Windows TEMP  ls -rtl sh -xe hudson6299483223982766034 sh

As far as I know  Windows will not support shell scripts out of the box  You can install Cygwin or Git for Windows  go to Manage Jenkins   Configure System Shell and point it to the location of sh exe file found in their installation  For example   C  Program Files Git bin sh exe   There is another option I ve discovered  This one is better because it allowed me to use shell in pipeline scripts with simple sh  something     Add the folder to system PATH  Right click on Computer  click properties   advanced system settings   environmental variables  add C  Program Files Git bin  to your system Path property    IMPORTANT note  for some reason I had to add it to the system wide Path  adding to user Path didn t work  even though Jenkins was running on this user   An important note  thanks bugfixr        This works  It should be noted that you will need to restart Jenkins in order for it to pick up the new PATH variable  I just went to my services and restated it from there    Disclaimer  the names may differ slightly as I m not using English Windows

For Windows slave  please use Execute Windows batch command  For Unix-like slave like linux or Mac  Execute shell is the option
