I'm trying to build my mod for release, so i open the command prompt on windows and go to my mod directory and type "gradlew build" but i get an exception, it says "A problem occurred starting process 'Gradle build daemon'", can anyone help me?

Post the full output of the command.

This is what I get with --stacktrace

 

C:\Users\Peter\Desktop\AssetsMod>gradlew build --stacktrace

To honour the JVM settings for this build a new JVM will be forked. Please consi

der using the daemon: https://docs.gradle.org/2.7/userguide/gradle_daemon.html.
