Re: [Wrapper-user] Re: Problem with Java service in Windows 2000

[<sna...@gm...>]

I think I have narrowed down the source of the problem as I could replicate it on a different machine. Probable causes
1) Windows Update (changed the privilege of Local System account)
2) Install of FTP server component in IIS
These were the only two changes I had done, after which this problem showed. 
To replicate I did the following
1) Do windows update
2) Install FTP server
3) Reinstall/install new JRE  (any version, preferably the latest beta)
4) Install the testwrapper service
5) reboot
6) Check if service started, then run a swing program. 

I don't know if windows update caused it or FTP server install caused it. May be Markus can provide us input as to whether he has the latest security patches and/or FTP server installed.
