 Hi All,

I trying to run the JBE as windows service, I use the instructions  like in this guide: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/JbeAsAWindowsService.
It's not the first time I do so, in all the other times it's worked fine.
This time, when I run the jsl -debug command I get this message:
"The system cannot execute the specified program".
Anyone know what this message mean? and if so, what to do?

Thanks,

Ziv

Anything useful in the jsl.log file? It should get created in the same directory as the jsl.exe It could be some missing windows libraries. You can check with dependency walker http://www.dependencywalker.com/ I often see missing dll errors and such with programs that work just fine so it isn't a guarantee to be the problem. I tested here and only  see a problem with one dll on  my windows 7 system (IESHIMS.DLL) What version of windows? Are you using the 32 or 64 bit version of jsl?

Hi Karl, Thanks for the answer. I don't see any log file in the jsl folder. We use windows server 2003 r2 32 bit. I used the "Dependency" app on the jsl.exe and I can see that there is two missing dll files: MSVCR90.dll & MSJAVA.dll. I ran a search on the server and I couldn't found those files. Any ideas what can We do to solve this issue?

Hi,

this is a duplicate of another forum question. Although there is no accepted answer in the other entry, there are three suggestions in the last comment. Does one of them work for you?

Hi,  Yes, I was tried to use the answers in the other post but none of them don't helped.

Hi,  After a few attempts I  decided to reinstall the OS to server 2008 r2. After  i did it, I Succeeded to use the jsl64 -debug and the jsl64 -install commands. Now I have a new problem, when I start the service there is error message that say: "Error 1053: the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion". The process jsl64.exe is ran and when I request a build its works fine. What can be the reason that cause the service to fail?

Not sure of the cause of this current issue. But I read another post that it is much easier to run the build engines via the Task Scheduler on Windows 2008.

Just to follow up in case anyone runs into the original issue.

I was able to reproduce "The system cannot execute the specified program" error on windows 2003 with the latest version of JSL (JSL 0.99n)

I resolved or worked around the issue by downloading an older version from the "Change log and archive" link. I chose JSL 99e because it specifically mentioned that it was Tested with Windows Server 2003

I didn't go any further than simply running jsl.exe -debug but it ran showing the output I would expect to see.
