'Unable to Access Jar File When Running Akka

I am using the tutorial provided at this link: https://developer.lightbend.com/guides/akka-quickstart-scala/index.html#running-the-example

It is a very basic tutorial on how to run a Hello World program using commands in Akka. I downloaded and extracted the zip file, navigated to the folder in the command prompt, and ran the sbt.bat command, but I get this dialogue as a result:

C:\akka-quickstart-scala>.\sbt-dist\bin\sbt.bat Error: Unable to access jarfile C:\akka-quickstart-scala\sbt-dist\bin\java9-rt-export.jar The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. Error: Unable to access jarfile C:\akka-quickstart-scala\sbt-dist\bin\java9-rt-export.jar Unrecognized VM option 'MaxPermSize=256m' Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

I am a university student taking a distributed operating systems class for context. Everyone else in the class got it to work except me. The professor couldn't even figure out why it wasn't running on my machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
