This should be solved by the recent change in the location of the java binary? If that doesn't solve the problem I suggest you implement your own java detection code and write it to the wrapper.conf before starting it. The detection code can be reused if and when we get rid of the wrapper. More broadly the question is should we get rid of the wrapper. I dunno whether the service errors happened on the old installer, it was some time ago (actually iirc they did happen occasionally I dunno how often). If you're sure it's a problem with the wrapper, I don't have a problem with rewriting the installer not to use it. However we are likely to continue to use it on other platforms. The watchdog (including both startup watchdog and online watchdog) is useful, the auto-restart is essential but trivial, Java autodetection is essential (but only if it works). YAJSW is just too heavyweight. I also have some concern about the interaction between running as a service and the wrapper - would it be more reliable to not run as a service but still use the wrapper, and how much work would it be from AHK to run as a service without using the wrapper? If you have time to rewrite it to abolish both that's fine by me though - we can solve the issue of servers later on, and running as a single user has its advantages, most notably access to My Downloads etc. > > These failures are more or less out of my hands...

Do you have time to deal with all this? I don't really have time to learn AHK properly and so on, but getting a copy of Windows 7 to run in a VirtualBox OSE VM isn't out of the question. > > - Zero3 > > Matthew Toseland skrev: > > And another one...
