Re: [staf-users] Process Start error: CreateProcess failed with OS RC 216: Invalid working directory

[Sharon L. <lu...@us...>]

The Windows system error code you are getting is 216.  Windows system 
error code 216 (as described at 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681382%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) means:

ERROR_EXE_MACHINE_TYPE_MISMATCH
216 (0xD8)
The version of %1 is not compatible with the version you're running. Check 
your computer's system information to see whether you need a x86 (32-bit) 
or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software 
publisher.

So, I'm wondering if the setup.exe executable that you are trying to run 
is is not compatible with the Windows operating system that is installed. 
For example, is the setup.exe in this ESE\image directory a x64 (64-bit) 
version of the program, but are you running a x86 (32-bit) version of the 
Windows operatiing system of this machine?  That would explain why it 
works on other Windows machines if they are running 64-bit Windows, for 
example.

You can tell what version of the Windows operating system you are running 
by checking if an environment variable named PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE exists 
and if it doesn't then a x86 (32-bit) version of the Windows operating 
system is installed.  If this environment variable exists and it's value 
is AMD64, then a x64 (64-bit) version of Windows is installed.

As to what version of ESE\setup.exe is installed, you need to check 
whatever was used to install that executable.

Also, which STAF installation file did you use to install STAF on this 
machine (one for 32-bit Windows or one for 64-bit Windows)?  Running this 
following command provides this information:

STAF local MISC LIST PROPERTIES

Also, what version of Windows is running on this machine?  For example: 
Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows XP, Windows Vista, etc. Running 
the following command provides this information:

STAF local VAR RESOLVE STRING {STAF/Config/OS/Name}

Hello,

When I submit the following Process Start request from command line or 
STAX I get the following error:

Although the same STAX job works on other Windows machines.
What can be the cause of the problem?

Thank you
