Kevin, You can't start, stop, etc. a Windows service until you install the service which is what the install batch file does at lines 72-73. Just read the file if you are concerned about what it does. Once the service is installed, you can start, stop, restart it at will via the neo4j.bat which just hands off to the base.bat and functions.bat for additional functionality. For that matter, you can 'talk' directly to the Windows Neo4j-Server service directly in an admin command prompt with the 'sc' command but the Neo4j.bat is a bit more convenient (as is my Neo4jCP utility that I mentioned in a prior post).
Good luck, --Jim-- On Thursday, March 13, 2014 8:47:58 AM UTC-5, Kevin Burton wrote: > > When I uninstall the version that was installed by the msi and extract the > contents of the zip archive and like the instructions I execute 'bin\neo4j > start', I get: > > C:\Neo4j\neo4j-community-2.0.1>bin\neo4j start > This command is not supported by the Neo4j utility.
