jboss-as-7.1.1.Final- 'findstr' is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file

[asif07]

I get the Error; as follows when I try to start the Jboss server.

C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin> standalone.bat

Calling "C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin\standalone.conf.bat"

'findstr' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

I did gogled and tried the following Solutions but to no avail; 

1. Commented "Findstr" in the following lines.. in the file standalone.cof

echo "%JAVA_OPTS%" | findstr /I \-server > nul

  if errorlevel == 1 (

    "%JAVA%" -client -version 2>&1 | findstr /I /C:"Client VM" > nul

--

echo "%JAVA_OPTS%" | findstr /I "\-XX:\-UseCompressedOops \-client" > nul

--

echo "%JAVA_OPTS%" | findstr /I "\-XX:\-TieredCompilation \-client" > nul

2. Installed JDK6 U 34( earlier I was running on jre

3. Copied findstr.exe to jbossx.x.x/bin directory & then to the JAVA_HOMe/bin  directory

4. Added "C:\Windows\System32" to the "Path" of "system variables"

All the Above did not Yield Any result.

5. I copied findstr in to the jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/bin directory I get the error as follows ;

C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin>standalone.bat

Calling "C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin\standalone.conf.bat"

( No error).. But the Jboss Doesnt start.

However I could run the other batch files successfully  .like adduser.bat file with the same setting ( Path/Java_Home)

Can Some one throw more light on thsi.

[nickarls]

Strange, I thought findstr.exe was available on 2008. Did you try putting it in windows\system32?

[asif07]

I copied findstr.exe from windows\system32  TO the other directories

[nickarls]

Ah, OK, I misunderstood.

So from a shell you can do "findstr" and the binary is found but not from standalone.bat?

Can you edit standalone.bat and echo the PATH env variable just before findstr is used?

[asif07]

Thanks Nick.

The  "findstr" work  from the shell..

I could not figure outfrom the Echo.

Posting the Standalone.bat here ( And also as atachment)

Just put an echo %PATH% before the calls to findstr and report the output.

Since you apparently put the windows/system32 on the PATH, I'd like to see that it's still there when the findstr is required

[asif07]

It does...

C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin>standalone.bat

Calling "C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin\standalone.conf.bat"

%JAVA_HOME%\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32

[nickarls]

Strange, I though the path would be fully expanded. What happens if you put the windows/system32 into the PATH in the windows "advanced system settings" and not in the script?

[asif07]

With   the PATH in the windows "advanced system settings"

I get the following ;

C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin>standalone.bat

Calling "C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin\standalone.conf.bat"

With & With Out  PATH in the windows "advanced system settings" But with PATH in the Script.

C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin>standalone.bat

Calling "C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin\standalone.conf.bat"

%JAVA_HOME%\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32

[nickarls]

So "path", "set" and "echo %PATH%" in the cmd window show the windows/system32 included but the echo %PATH% shows blank? If so, what is resetting it?
