I did try to reinstall but no luck. also tried the following.
1 Uninstall all previous instances of SOAP UI, delete the folder eviware from program files folder, delete all the temp files, and re install SOAP UI 3.0.1 but still get the same error. please let me know if I am missing some thing
C:\Program Files\eviware\soapUI-3.0.1>cd bin
C:\Program Files\eviware\soapUI-3.0.1\bin>testrunner
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/cli/CommandLineParser
C:\Program Files\eviware\soapUI-3.0.1\bin>
Thanks
