My problem on Windows with deployment of a service via the -d option on runRemoteAsyncAE appears to be a PATH inheritance problem. Section 3.8 of the UIMA-AS Scaleout doc says:
*Components written in C++ can be run as a top level service. These components are launched in a separate process, and by default, all the environment variables of the launching process are passed to the new process. This element allows the environment variables of the new process to be augmented. * but I found the PATH to be "null\lib;null\lib\xms" The tutorial example augments the "Path" variable ... when I changed that to "PATH" and so pre-pended the appropriate directories it was able to load and deploy the annotator. ~Burn
