          I see this link but I still don't know how to progress, my jboss version is jboss EAP4.2, OS is windows server 2003

          http://community.jboss.org/wiki/RunJBossAsAServiceOnWindows

          is it I need download the zip and then unzip in the {$JBOSS_HOME}\bin folder? then run serveice.bat install?

           

          I am not in office now, but my home has JBOSS version 5.0.1, the result of running service.bat install is

           

          C:\jboss-5.0.1.GA\bin>service.bat install

          The system cannot execute the specified program.

          Service JBoss Application Server 5.0 installed

            Yes, or you can copy install.bat and jbosssvc.exe from a 5.x or 6.x release (which is often the preferred method)

             

            >> but my home has JBOSS version 5.0.1, the result of running service.bat install is

            Have you set JAVA_HOME?

            If that doesn't help, go into install.bat and comment out the "echo off" line, run it again and post the complete output.

              My JAVA_HOME is set to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_18

               

              I try jboss 5.1.0 GA and it is ok, but if jboss 5.0.1GA, after running service.bat install, and then go to service, cannot view the jboss service

              Also, "copy install.bat and jbosssvc.exe from a 5.x or 6.x release" is better? (anyway, I think you mean service.bat, not install.bat as there is no install.bat in bin folder)

              Also, in office, I create a file runDefault which add parameter default to run.bat because if not, run.bat default will use the "all" server configuration, will this need modify service.bat? or how to modify run.bat so it run with "default" server configuration, not "all" server configuration?

                >>The system cannot execute the specified program.

                Looks like jbosssvc.exe is not in the bin directory.

                 

                And yes, install.bat was a typo, I meant service.bat.

                  in my home, jbosssvc.exe is in C:\jboss-5.0.1.GA\bin directory, but it's icon looks strange (look like a small command window icon), not like the icon in C:\jboss-5.1.0.GA\bin (which show a half circle with red dot)

                    Try running "jbosssvc -?" and see what you get.

                          Your jbosssvc.exe file is corrupt. You need to replace it.

                           

                          I suspect that EAP runs "all" by default. You can either edit run.bat to add the "-c default" option to it, or create a rundefault.bat file that contain "run -c default". I usually prefer the latter. Also, since you are starting it as a service, you can also edit the service.bat file to call run.bat passing the -c option (that is what I do). Grab the source code for JBoss in Action and look at how I set up service.bat in ch15: http://www.manning.com/jamae/
