Hi Tim I had the same issue.
Take a backup copy of common.cmd just to be safe. If you take at look at the contents of common.cmd find the line set ZEPPELIN_JMX_PORT="9996" immediately after that is a closing curly bracket } The should be a normal closing closing bracket ) Make the change, save and try again.
