Try changing the java command to

wrapper.java.command=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11\bin\java

Let us know if this works,

That folder "java" doesn't exist. The only folder in "bin" is "client".

I got this error using your settings:

I tried it with the "client" folder instead of "java" and got this error:

I checked, and the system user has permissions and the service is set to run as local system.

Thanks for your help!

That property is supposed to point at the executable. The property should point at <javapath>/bin/java.exe

I've been away from windows too long to remember the simple things like exes.

Okay, that also did not work. I took the command from the ztwrapper.log file and created a .bat file with it. When I run that, I get this error:

"Error: no 'server' at 'C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11\bin\server\jvm.dll'"

I notice that the \bin\server folder does not exist...

I then noticed that in my C"\Program Files\Java folder was a JDK folder that had a jre\bin\java.exe in it. So, I changed the patch in the ztwrapper.conf to read as follows:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_11\jre\bin\java.exe

Now the service starts. :-)

I will attach the .log file to the original post.

Did you install the 09b client on top of the 09 client?

Also, you could try executing the client with the -clean switch.
eg: ziptie.exe -clean

- Leo

I was getting an error within the application about invalid data. So I uninstalled the client in add/remove programs and re-installed. Then I started getting the error I attached here. After that, I updated Java, but no change.

Using the -clean switch results in the same behavior. The windows open for a moment, and then everything closes and a dialog box refers me to the .log file in .metadata.

Add the following Import-Package declaration to the manifest at
<InstallDir>/plugins/org.ziptie.metro.client_<version>/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
and rerun the client with the -clean switch.

Import-Package: javax.xml.transform

- Leo

I have no other Import-Package lines in this file other than the one I am about to add. Does that sound correct?

This did not fix anything. Much sadness.

This error:

"Error: no 'server' at 'C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11\bin\server\jvm.dll'"

Indicates that only the JRE is installed and not the JDK. The server requires that the JDK be installed, because only the JDK includes the Sun Hotspot Server virutal machines. The JRE only includes the Hotspot Client virtual machine.

Going back to your previous post "fixed...who-hoo!" on 10/17/2007 at 18:10.

I was having the same problem as you were and I was following your previous steps I changed:

wrapper.java.command=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11\bin\java.exe... and it still didn't work, now I don't fully understand "changing the patch file in the ztwrapper.conf file to read as follows C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_11\jre\bin\java.exe"

The only part I am having problems with is that I can not find the patch in the ztswrapper.conf to change. Where would that be located/named?

thanks

ZipTie Server requires the Java JDK, not the JRE.
