Hi Edwin, Sorry for the late reply. Was caught up yesterday.
Yes I did not use the start.jar command and followed this article using solr.cmd - http://www.norconex.com/how-to-run-solr5-as-a-service-on-windows/. I am using a Windows Server 2012 R2 Server. The article example shows that it passes the start -f -p 8983 as arguments to the service. I believe it is important to have the -f. Did you try this example? If it didn't work for you, have you tried to remove the service via nssm and add it again?

The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows error or an internal service error." As Solr 5.2.1 is not using the start.jar command to run Solr, are we still able to use the same arguments to set up the nssm?
