Problems with WW Servers as a service

[TheGuardian]

I have some problems with installing World Wind Server as a server using the "InstallAsWindowsService" script.

* I have a fresh installed jre 1.7.0 and jdk1.7.0 installation, 64 bit on a 2008 server.
* I am able to run "StartWMS.bat" and that works fine.

I modified InstallAsWindowsService.bat to reflect the jdk version. I also changed c:/opt/wms to c:/apps/wms as that is the pointer to the directory containing all the files.

When I run the script as an administrator, I got the following error: "wmsd.exe" is not reconginized as a command. It is a result of running c:\windows\system32>wmsd.exe //IS/wmsd blablabla

If I navigate (using command line, as admin) to c:\apps\wms and launch the InstallAsWindowsService.bat, all works fine and the service is created.

If I try to start the service, I get a error, which could be traced to:

It probably has something to do with a classpath or something, but that is strange cause if I run it using startWMS.bat, all is fine..

Solved it: C:\opt\wms\lib\worldwind-servers.jar was for some strange reason not in the InstallAsWindowsService.bat script..

TheGuardian,
Can you please elaborate on "Solved it: C:\opt\wms\lib\worldwind-servers.jar was for some strange reason not in the InstallAsWindowsService.bat script.." I am getting the exact same error but do not know how to fix.

[TheGuardian]

I'm not sure what I had done exactly as it was half a year ago, but please find my InstallAsWindowsService script below. I thought it had something to do with the Set SERVICE_STARTUP_CLASS:

@echo on
SET SERVICE_NAME=wmsd
SET SERVICE_PATH=C:\opt\wms
SET SERVICE_DESCRIPTION="NASA World Wind WMS (Web Map Service)"

pause

In the InstallAsWindowsService.bat, I added ";%SERVICE_PATH%\lib\worldwind-servers.jar" after WMS.jar. I suspect WMS.jar does not exist.

Also, once I ran the original script, running it with modification did not change the existing entries for the service in the registry. Use regedit and change the classpath if you ran the original InstallAsWindowsService.bat.
