Failure of Windows Service to start under JavaExe : Updated
Is anyone having a problem running a Windows Service with JavaExe, and is there a solution? The JavaExe examples all work except for the Service examples, Example3, Example5, and Example23. In each case, the Windows Service gets created, but any attempt to start the service brings a popup error message: «The system cannot find the file specified.» There is a registry entry for the serivce which contains the following:
Name: ImagePath
Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ
Data: «\JavaExe\JavaExe\doc\examples\3 — Service\Example3.exe» __RunService__ If I run Example3.exe from a command line with the argument __RunService__, then a Java process starts and runs briefly before crashing. The examples are all self-contained in the JavaExe download, so it’s hard to see how there could be missing libraries. Background: JavaExe (http://devwizard.free.fr/html/en/JavaExe.html) appears to implement a sound approach to allowing a Java application program to be invoked from another Java program running as a service. Windows prevents services from accessing the desktop, so JavaExe sets up a socket connection between the service and the application Java program, each running as a User process, as outlined here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms683502(v=vs.85).aspx Windows 7 x64 (but it fails in the same way on XP [SEE UPDATE BELOW])
Java version 1.7.0_45 — UPDATE: The developer replied to my email and advised that 32-bit and 64-bit Java versions were being confused.
I straightened this out. The Example3 Service, run from the .exe and .jar files obtained from the JavaExe .zip download (which are all 32 bit by default), now run correctly on WinXP (x86). For x64 machines, it is necessary to recompile the jar files using the package’s compilx64.bat script. (And to use the x64 versions of JaveExe.exe as stated in the documentation.) I did these things but the Example3 service still fails to start, with the error, «The system cannot find the file specified.» The .jar files built from compilx64.bat are mostly identical to the x86 versions, but a few contain .class files that are a few bytes larger. I assume that the code must therefore be referring to native libraries? And maybe some are not found? But which ones? When I type sc qc Example3 I get:
TYPE: : 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
START_TYPE: 2 AUTO_START
ERROR_CONTROL: 1 NORMAL
BINARY_PATH_NAME : «[. filepath. ]\JavaExe\JavaExe\doc\examples\3 — Service\Example3.exe» __RunService__
LOAD_ORDER_GROUP: 0
DISPLAY_NAME: JavaExe : Example3
DEPENDENCIES: eventlog
SERVICE_START_NAME: LocalSystem
where comes from this registry entry ? if you type in console DOS : «sc qc XXX» where XXX is the name of your service, what do you see ?
this error seems come from your installation of JavaExe’s examples. Are you unzipped the JavaExe.zip before running examples ? why did it not find the file after creation ?
your «filepath» is a temporary folder ? Is that still exists Example3.exe before starting the sevice ? what is the full «filepath» ?
Cloned Virtual Machine, Java services will not start
In our software environment we have a number of VMs running Windows Server 2008 R2. On these servers we have Java 1.6 and use YAJSW for a couple of services. As part of our upgrade procedure we want to create clones on the virtual environments and test our upgrades before deploying to production. Now for the issue. The windows services will not start on the cloned VMs. An example of a command that is run when a service is started is:
F:\app\configservice>»D:/Java/jdk1.6.0_27/bin/java.exe» «-classpath» «D:\yajsw-10.8\wrapper.jar» «-Xrs» «-Dwrapper.service=true» «-Dwrapper.working.dir=f:\app\configservice» «-Dwrapper.java.command=D:/Java/jdk1.6.0_27/bin/configservice.exe» «-Dwrapper.config=F:\app\configservice\lib\wrapper.conf» «-Dwrapper.additional.1x=-Xrs» «org.rzo.yajsw.boot.WrapperServiceBooter»

INFO|wrapper|Service ConfigService|13-02-11 14:37:49|Win service: terminated correctly
Googling the error has led me to believe there may be something wrong with the JVM, but that really does not make sense as it is a clone of a VM where the JVM is perfectly happy. Some colleagues have suggested the group rights policies, but it seems to be the same on both machines.
Tomcat windows service doesn’t start when installed in a folder containing non-standard characters.
1. On an English Windows 7, 64bits unzip tomcat7 (7.0.54) in a folder name containing Japanese characters, like: «C:\TFバッチビルダー»
2. Call ‘service.bat install’, worked well, Tomcat7 service appears in Windows
3. Trying to start the service failed. Below is the commons-daemon log:

Service will not start: error 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly
We have a custom service that we install with our application. The only problem is that after it is installed, it will not start, generating the error above. I have tried to diagnose what the problem is, but can’t seem to find any useful information as to why it is quitting. I have tried the same service on a non «R2» 2008 server, and manual it worked fine. service simple java file running using batch file. Deamon service. Has anyone had any experience troubleshooting this type of problem, where there are so few clues?
Goto Registry->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->System->CurrentControlSet->Services. search for the service name you have installed and check the «Start» Value. Or better post all the values found under your Service Name.

Registry-> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> System-> CurrentControlSet-> Services.
Find the concerned service & delete it. Close regedit. Reboot the PC & Re-install the concerned service. Now the error should be gone.
For some reason i just cant boot up , it starts windows and doesnt get me to a desktop but reboots again , i just upgraded to vista using xp so i dont know how do i fix it
This is a problem related permission. Make sure that the current user has access to the folder which contains installation files.
I resolved the problem.This is for EAServer Windows Service
Resolution is —> Open Regedit in Run prompt
In parameters, give SERVERNAME entry as EAServer.
[It is sometime overwritten with Envirnoment variable : Path value]This error message appears if the Windows service launcher has quit immediately after being started. This problem usually happens because the license key has not been correctly deployed(license.txt file in the license folder). If service is not strtign with correct key, just put incorrect key and try to start. Once started, place the correct key, it will work.
I upgraded windows vista from xp , now it just starts , shows me a blue screen . I used Windows Vista iso to get into command prompt of C drive , how do i change the licence.txt
I had this error, I looked into a log file C:\. \mysql\data\VM-IIS-Server.err and found this
