I download latest JMeter 4,

As part of Remote Testing

To run JMeter in remote node, start the JMeter server component on all machines you wish to run on by running the JMETER_HOME/bin/jmeter-server (unix) or JMETER_HOME/bin/jmeter-server.bat (windows) script.

I try to execute jmeter-server.bat in windows 7 and got the following error:

Server failed to start: java.rmi.server.ExportException: Listen failed on port:
0; nested exception is:
        java.io.FileNotFoundException: rmi_keystore.jks (The system cannot find
the file specified)
An error occurred: Listen failed on port: 0; nested exception is:
        java.io.FileNotFoundException: rmi_keystore.jks (The system cannot find
the file specified)
errorlevel=1

It seems that a file rmi_keystore.jks is missing. (I can't find it in JMeter folders)

In JMeter 3.3 jmeter-server.bat is working.

EDIT 1

after I execute create-rmi-keystore.bat it created rmi_keystore.jks, but I get other error:

Server failed to start: java.rmi.server.ExportException: Listen failed on port:
0; nested exception is:
        java.io.IOException: java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: Cannot rec
over key
An error occurred: Listen failed on port: 0; nested exception is:
        java.io.IOException: java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: Cannot rec
over key
errorlevel=1

error from log:

EDIT 2

I tried to change server.rmi.ssl.keystore.password to password I wrote but got a different error 

Server failed to start: java.rmi.server.ExportException: Listen failed on port:
0; nested exception is:
        java.io.IOException: Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorre
ct
An error occurred: Listen failed on port: 0; nested exception is:
        java.io.IOException: Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorre
ct

EDIT 3

I tried to set the server port manually SET SERVER_PORT=1099 according to reference but still trying to listen through port 0

On Windows this can be done by: SET SERVER_PORT=

To solve issue, you need to follow:

The problem was the answer to first question when executing create-rmi-keystore

What is your first and last name?

I should have answered rmi as it the default value in JMeter's property server.rmi.ssl.keystore.alias

Also (difference from JMeter 3.3) I needed to change JMeter's property remote_hosts so that it uses my host name (change from 127.0.0.1)
