Found a 64-bit compile of the Java Service Wrapper.  

http://www.krenger.ch/blog/tag/java-service-wrapper

Specifically, with Simon’s compile of the open-source Tanuki product, you will 
not need to pay for the 64-bit license, generate keys for trial etc.  


Would be glad to be proven wrong...but this is likely REQUIRED for a 64-bit 
windows install.  Apache James will not install properly as a windows service 
or unix daemon without the corresponding 64-bit Java Service Wrapper.   The 
errors, stacktrace of using the wrong version (32 bit) are extremely confusing 
(suggesting problems with IO file/folder permissions etc).  The only workaround 
I have heard so far is that to use the 32-bit wrapper in a 64-bit environment, 
just rename it (from Eric Charles).  


Therefore, I propose the following to make this seamless for future users - 
include Simon's 64-bit wrapper in the James release as follows:
1.  Modify the batch file to consider the 64-bit wrapper first, not the 32-bit

2.  Use Simon's wrapper for 64-bit - since Tanuki does not release one... 


I will create JIRA if no objections....
