This means that Payara can't work properly when it's installed in a location that contains spaces in the path. You probably installed it into the "C:\Program Files" directory.

Move the Payara installation to a directory, which doesn't contain spaces. For example into "C:\payara".

You can also try GlassFish 7, which is very similar to Payara 6, but doesn't use the grizzly npn library and may not suffer from this issue.
