error 1053 when starting a service installed by install4j

Question

I am trying to make a bundled JBoss AS 7 into my exe, and install it as a service, so in the "Install a Service" action, I use [Other Service Executable], and give it the full path to standalone.bat so that it could execute it.

The service gets installed correctly, however when I try to start it , it gives me the error 1053

Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion

What it is that I could have missed?

Answer 1

"standalone.bat" is not a service executable, so it cannot be started by the service manager. Either you have a 3rd party service executable for JBoss, or you can set up a generated service launcher in install4j that mimics the call made in standalone.bat.
