Hi, all. I found what I was looking for. The values that are set when the services are installed are located in the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<Service Name>\Parameters
I changed the path to the new jvm.dll for v1.6_05, and my services came right up. Thanks for all of the speedy assistance!
