This would seem to say that your server is not reachable, or "Out Of
Service".

This would probably be the reason for your other difficulties. Is your
CLASSPATH set? Try:

  set CLASSPATH

if so, you may need to unset it if the current directory is not
included:

  set CLASSPATH=

and then retry the command.

Do you have the JDK or just the JRE installed? What's the value of:

  java -version

You don't need to worry about this.

If the "java omero setup-db deploy" command is failing, then your
server won't be able to start. We'll have to get that working first.
