Thanks. I'll revisit this when 1.0.4 is released. For now, by putting the complete path into the log4j properties file, it works entirely. As promised, my audit of the System properties follows, only listing differences:
property name --StartMode=jvm Java command line sun.java.launcher no value SUN_STANDARD java.io.tmpdir C:\Windows\TEMP\ C:\Users\Thomas\AppData\Local\Temp\ java.library.path from system %PATH% from user %PATH% user.dir location of prunsrv same as command prompt path user.home C:\> C:\Users\Thomas\ java.class.path from --Classpath %CLASSPATH% + -cp command line list java.home JDK JRE sun.boot.class.path from JDK path from JRE path Note that I coded --Jvm=[path to JDK copy of jvm.dll] I consider this issued closed now. Once again, thanks for your help ^TM.
