Error: Could not find or load main class org.neo4j.server.startup.Neo4jCommand

Neo4j Graph Platform Installation

Hello
I tried installing the Neo4j Community Server (v5.9.0) from the Neo4j Download Center. I followed the Windows installation guide step by step.

Installing Java (OracleJDK 17) seemed to work and downloading the zip was also no problem. But if I now try to start the server using neo4j console inside the bin directory, it fails:

(Textform for potential future searches:)

Error: Could not find or load main class org.neo4j.server.startup.Neo4jCommand
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.neo4j.server.startup.Neo4jCommand

I don't think that I did something special during my java installation. I just downloaded the installer and clicked through the steps. If I open a CMD window and type java --version I also get the expected result.

Does anyone have an idea, what the problem may be?

It seems that a complete reinstallation of everything solved the issue now :)
I'm pretty sure I tried that yesterday but maybe I forgot something while doing so...
