geoserver-2.6-beta.exe
- no surprises on the installer
- recommend we ask for Java 7 on the JRE tab?
- running start.bat from the start menu works (running as an admin account)
- jetty starts up on port 8080 as expected, but geoserver is unavaialble

Why?

-- first --

WEB-INF/lib/gs-gwc-2.6-beta.jar!/geowebcache-core-context.xml]:
Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is
org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate
bean class [org.geowebcache.storage.blobstore.file.FileBlobStore]:
Constructor threw exception; nested exception is
org.geowebcache.storage.StorageException: C:\Program Files (x86)\GeoServer

c is not writable directory.: org.geowebcache.storage.StorageException:

        at
org.geowebcache.storage.blobstore.file.FileBlobStore.<init>(FileBlobStore.java:90)
-- and --
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Program Files (x86)\GeoServer
2.6-beta\logs\2014_07_23.request.log (Access is denied)

That sounds like a blocker to me. Can I provide write access?

Right click on data_dir and changing it from readonly does not work. Trying
security and giving normal users greater access - does not work.

Going to copy it out of the magic program files directory to C:\data

Cannot edit startup.bat which has a -DGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR parameter:

call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe"
-DGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR="C:\data" -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
-DSTOP.PORT=8079 -DSTOP.KEY=geoserver -Djetty.port=8080
-Djetty.logs="C:\Program Files (x86)\GeoServer 2.6-beta\logs" -jar
"C:\Program Files (x86)\GeoServer 2.6-beta\start.jar"

I could however update the environmental variable GEOSEVER_DATA_DIR - but
it was ignored because of the startup parameter.

Looks like we need someone more knowledgable about Windows 7 than me.
