Chuck, Thanks for your response. I see the same issue with startup and shutdown as well. Its just that the window startup script spawns disappears. I see the java version also to be right.
C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin>java -version java version "1.7.0_25" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_25-b17) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.25-b01, mixed mode) C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin> Is the VM causing an issue here? Thanks, Sunil.
