Hi again Thanks for your answers. I have given up. I have tried some of the suggestions:
* Uninstall all JVM's and Tomcats (and reinstall) * Checked dependcies, yes there were two, that are also present on another machine running Tomcat7 (TCP/IP, ADF) * Tried to use client/jvm.dll instead of server/jvm.dll Nothing helps - I can still only run the service from the command prompt. I find it strange though, that Tomcat isn't able to log anything at all about this, but maybe it's all Windows fault? Hopefully things will work on a new VPS, and I'll quit the old one. /Rune Den 26/02/2013 kl. 13.04 skrev Rune Stilling <s...@rdfined.dk>: > Hi list > > I have been trying to get this to work by looking a lot on similar situations > around the net but nothing works.
