UGH! Alright I figured this out. Basically the service was failing because I already had the JAVA_HOME environment variable set from a previous install of OpenBD. I did see in the install log that "JAVA_HOME was incorrectly set" so I promptly changed it to C:\openbd\jdk\bin. I found out that java_home should be the root of the jdk folder so I tried C:\openbd\jdk. This still didn't work. Only after I cracked open the "service.bat" file did I understand how the installer configures the service.
The service.bat file defaults to use the JAVA_HOME environment variable first and if that does not exist then it uses the JRE_HOME variable which it sets to "C:\openbd\jdk". Setting JAVA_HOME to C: \openbd\jdk like I initially thought won't work because it expects JAVA_HOME to have a different folder structure than the one in "C: \openbd\jdk". My solution was to just delete the JAVA_HOME variable via cmd prompt by typing SET "JAVA_HOME=" then using the service.bat to remove the current OpenBD service (service.bat remove OpenBD) and re-install a new one (C:\openbd\tomcat\bin>service.bat install OpenBD). @Jordan: Shouldn't the installer just default to use JRE_HOME? I suggest this because you know the location of JRE_HOME will be correct. Maybe the installer could have a screen that ask if the user would like to use the JAVA_HOME variable instead of the JRE_HOME for setting up the service. Or maybe if the installer is smart enough to detect that JAVA_HOME is incorrect it should be smart enough to use JRE_HOME. Just a suggestion, I'm sure you want the installer to have as few screens as possible.
