Hi all, I downloaded the bundled zip-file, extracted it to c:\temp and renamed the top level directory to jboss. I edited the run_with_tomcat.bat file and added environment variablesby adding the following lines set JBOSS_DIST=c:\temp\jboss\jboss set JBOSS_HOME=%JBOSS_DIST% set TOMCAT_HOME=%JBOSS_DIST%\..\tomcat cd %JBOSS_HOME%\bin I have a working installation of the IBM JDK 1.3 with the variable JAVA_HOME set. When I try to start JBOSS I get the following server.log: [Info] Java version: 1.3.0,IBM Corporation [Info] Java VM: Classic VM 1.3.0,IBM Corporation [Info] System: Windows NT 4.0,x86 [Info] +++ Full System Properties Dump [Info] jmx.specification.vendor: Sun Microsystems [Info] java.runtime.name: Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition [Info] sun.boot.library.path: d:\programme\Java\IBM JDK1.3\jre\bin [Info] java.vm.version: 1.3.0 [Info] java.vm.vendor: IBM Corporation [Info] java.vendor.url: http://www.ibm.com/ [Info] path.separator: ; [Info] java.vm.name: Classic VM [Info] file.encoding.pkg: sun.io [Info] java.vm.specification.name: Java Virtual Machine Specification [Info] user.dir: C:\TEMP\jboss\jboss\bin [Info] java.runtime.version: 1.3.0 [Info] java.fullversion: J2RE 1.3.0 IBM build cn130-20001115 (JIT enabled: jitc) [Info] java.awt.graphicsenv: sun.awt.Win32GraphicsEnvironment [Info] os.arch: x86 [Info] java.io.tmpdir: C:\TEMP\ [Info] line.separator: [Info] java.vm.specification.vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
