installing multi platform edition fails to run on windows

Still seems to complete ok, but when I try to launch the master.bat it fails to open anything or even report the error. I have java_home set to C:\>echo %JAVA_HOME%
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_20

What am I missing? where can I see what is going wrong?

Thanks

Please run master.bat from the command line and let us know what it prints to the screen when you run it.

Nothing happens, it simply causes the CMD box to close.

Please use

	Code:
	cmd /C master.bat

Still no joy. Even trying to install on a linux box. It looks like it goes through all the steps from the setup.sh but then nothing gets created.

Do you see debug.log in the scheduler directory? If yes, please post the content of this file.

Also please try running
master anyJVM

On the windows box:

However, I can not get this to start again on windows by any method. I started once but not since.

On Linux "centOS" it will not even install:

./setup.sh nogui /job_scheduler

thanks for all of your help!

Is that always the last line printed to debug.log when starting the scheduler on Windows?

On CentOS, please check you are using real Sun's JRE or JDK 1.4 or 1.5 and not a link to some other JDK version from some generic distribution. Whichever Java version you are using now to run the setup, that version seems to be in-compatible and that's why it fails to load the setup classes or its standard dependencies.

By the way, here is some except from the log you pasted in the previous post
echo JAVA_HOME value must be set to JDK or JRE 1.5.x installation directory

+ '[' -f /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_21/bin/java ']'
