Did the error message include th bad directory/file name? If so, could you post that?

Also, where is JBoss installed? Where is the JVM installed? What do you have JAVA_HOME and JBOSS_HOME set to?

Thank you for your reply. no dir just " the filename, directory name or volume lable syntax is incorrect."

jboss installed to: C:\jboss-4.0.4.GA
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.5.0_6\bin
jvm install: C:\Program Files\java\jre
JBOSS_HOME=C:\jboss-4.0.4.GA\bin

?

Thanks again.

I would re-install the JVM to some place other than Program Files. I know that it wants to install there by default, but I change it to install elsewhere (on my laptop, it is at c:\apps\jdk1.5.0_06). Spaces in file/directory names gives some Java code fits.

If that doesn't work, post the full command window output from running run.bat.

Another thought. Did you first cd to the c:\jboss-4.0.4.GA\bin and then run run.bat? Did you make any changes to run.bat? Also, how did you install jboss - by unzipping the zip file or by running installer.jar?

Hi,

The JAVA_HOME should list the base JDK installation directory, not the bin subdirectory.
So to JAVA_HOME put
C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.5.0_6

Exactly the same problem to JBOSS_HOME and should work ;)
