AS 6 CR1 service installation working?

[nickarls]

I did a service.bat install on my Win7 64b machine and the script claimed that the service was installed  but it's not in the service list? Do you have to install something else (I recall something about JBossNative in previous versions)? There is already the jbosssvc.exe available, is something more required?

Are you an admin on that system?

[nickarls]

Yep. And no error message either. Looked at the native connectors as the last version appears to be for the 5.x series(?)

I'm not on Windows OS, so can't say for sure. But from what I understand, the service.bat that shipped in the AS should work fine. There was an issue in M4 which was fixed later http://community.jboss.org/message/555603

The event log said

"""The description for Event ID 1 from source JBAS60SVC cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

Access is denied.

"""

so apparently there is some access problem, the script just failed to report it correctly. What more it requires than local admin is beyond my understanding as I recall having installed other services before...

It installed fine on a 2003 server so I guess it's more of a "script returning wrong value on failure" type of issue.

It's been a while, but have you been able to find out what caused this? I'm having exactly the same problem of not being able to find a JBoss AS service in the list.

I am facing the same problem while trying to install JBoss 6 server as window services in windows 32 bit.

After running the services.bat script, it prints 'Service JBoss Application Server 6.0 installed'. But the service is not displayed in service list.

I modified the batch file to print the error level (while ruuning >>service.bat install), the error level displayed was 3. I am not sure what this error level-3

is all about, since as per the script only the following error levels were handled,

:errExplain
if errorlevel 1 echo Invalid command line parameters
if errorlevel 2 echo Failed installing %SVCDISP%
if errorlevel 4 echo Failed removing %SVCDISP%
if errorlevel 6 echo Unknown service mode for %SVCDISP%

Please shed some light on this if any solution was met.

Thanks,

Mahesh

Hi,

do you use Win7 or Vista? If yes this might help: http://community.jboss.org/thread/163824

Hi Wolfgang,

Thanks for the response.

I am using Windows XP.

Two things I've found can cause this. I needed to open a Windows command shell as an Administrator.  Also, the service name cannot have spaces within it.
