I am using NSSM to start zookeeper as a service on windows (and for Solr too).
in NSSM I configured it to just point to to E:\zookeeper-3.4.6\bin\zkServer.cmd. As long as you can run that from the command line to validate that you have modified all of the zookeeper config files correctly, NSSM should have no problem starting up zookeeper.

However, the startup scripts for Zookeeper on Windows are pathetic, so you are much more on your own than you are on Linux. There may be folks here who can answer your question (e.g. with Windows specific startup scripts), or you might consider asking on the Zookeeper mailing lists directly: https://zookeeper.apache.org/lists.html Upayavira On Mon, May 25, 2015, at 10:34 AM, Zheng Lin Edwin Yeo wrote: > I've managed to get the Solr started as a Windows service after > re-configuring the startup script, as I've previously missed out some of > the custom configurations there. > > However, I still couldn't get the zookeeper to start the same way too. > Are > we able to use NSSM to start up zookeeper as a Microsoft Windows service > too? > > > Regards, > Edwin > > > > On 25 May 2015 at 12:16, Zheng Lin Edwin Yeo <edwinye...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > Has anyone tried to run Solr 5.1.0 as a Microsoft Windows service? > > > > i've tried to follow the steps from this website > > http://www.norconex.com/how-to-run-solr5-as-a-service-on-windows/, which > > uses NSSM. > > > > However, when I tried to start the service from the Component Services in > > the Windows Control Panel Administrative tools, I get the following message: > > Windows could not start the Solr5 service on Local Computer.
