An unexpected exception has been thrown by the caliper runner.
Please see https://sites.google.com/site/caliperusers/issues

it is because of wrong execPath. The execPath on my machine is "C:\Program 
Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_04\jre/bin/java", should be "C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_04\jre/bin/java.exe".

I suspect that this might be due to our woefully inadequate windows support.  
It might be a while before have any good answers for windows users.
