Hi,
I was testing with my work computer as a localpower user. That user does not
have full rights but I do not know exactly the limits. My observations:
* I used the Install as a service option but I could not start the service.
Running the startService.bat did not start the service for me but yielded
always these two lines
net start GeoServer
[Invalid service name] – translated from Finnish
Installer creates also the startup.bat file and next results are obtained by
running that.
* Geoserver does not start if it is installed into the suggested location
Program Files\GeoServer. With my rights it is not allowed to create a new layer
during startup. Error:
Please wait while loading GeoServer...

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to create temp dir C:\Program

* The first installation with the default settings created environmental
variable GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR set to C:\ProgramData\GeoServer. It seems that
uninstaller does not remove this variable and giving another path when running
the installer again does not change GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR. Error:
04 lokakuuta 09:54:36 WARN [geoserver.platform] - Found Java environment
variable GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR set to C:\ProgramData\GeoServer , but this path
does not exist
04 lokakuuta 09:54:36 WARN [geoserver.platform] - Found System environment

does not exist
04 lokakuuta 09:54:36 INFO [geoserver.platform] - Falling back to embedded data
directory: C:\ohjelmat\gs20rc\webapps\geoserver\data
However, the directory that I gave for the installer was created and populated.
As a result Geoserver did not start right because it was searching the data_dir
from a wrong place.
* Next I uninstalled again and removed the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR environment
variable before running the installer. I used a custom data_dir location but
the installer did not set the variable at all. The data directory was created
and populated and after setting the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR manually I could run
startup.bat and Geoserver 2.20-RC started.
Conclusion:
* There seems to be something to check with setting/removing/changing the
location of the data_dir with installer and uninstaller
* The run as service alternative did not work at all for me
* Using directory “Program Files” may make troubles even the installation
seems to be successful because Jetty wants to create a new directory when it
starts. I do not know if using ProgramData may show similar issues because I
used a custom data_dir location in most of my tests.

Aihe: [Geoserver-users] GeoServer 2.20-RC windows installer testing requested
Reporting in from the foss4g code sprint, and I noticed that Sander and Juan
produces a GeoServer-install-2.20-RC.exe last week...
I do not have a windows environment handy, can I ask for testing please?
