Helma Windows service does not work

Hello,

I am having difficulties running Helma service on Windows XP SP2. I
read about submitting questions about it to dev-helma mailing list,
but as I also noticed something about closing it, I guess it is more
proper to post it here (hope I do not break any rules).

I downloaded the HelmaService.zip file from
http://adele.helma.org/download/helma/contrib/hannes/helmaservice/ and
followed instructions several times:

installservice.bat c:\progra~1\java\jre1.6.0_5 d:\dev\helma client

The information about succesful installation always appears, then I
add the following line to server.properties file as required:

webPort=8080

But then when I try to start the service from the services control
panel, it just gives me a message like this:

"The service has started and shut down. It happens when the service is
not needed anymore" - or something like that, I actually cannot
reinterpret what it exactly says as I use

I tried to run it from shell, but it does not work either giving me
something like this:

Starting Helma service.
Helma service cannot be activated.
The service did not report any error.

That's it. Maybe there is some problem with the JRE? As I am pretty
new in all of this, I have no idea. Thank you for any suggestions

I finally solved it using JRE 1.5.0_15 in case someone would run into
the same troubles.
There are some problems with JRE 1.6 and JavaService.

Cheers

I'm no longer running Windows, but if you're just doing development on
Win, don't worry about running it as a service at all. Just run
start.bat in the Helma folder.

Thanks for your reply. I finally solved it using JRE 1.5.0_15, there
are some issues with 1.6 version of JRE and JavaService (mailed this
yesterday, but I suppose the mail has not been delivered to the board
for some reason). It is just more comfortable to run it as a service,
I had been using the start.bat before then.
