Basic Installation Error: System cannot find path specified.
Requesting help with installation.
Using James version 2.3.x on windows xp sp 2.
I unzip the jaf and mailapi and installed java 1.5 but then when I try
to run as follows I get the following error
--
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\James\james-2.3.0\bin>run.bat
Using PHOENIX_HOME: C:\James\james-2.3.0
Using PHOENIX_TMPDIR: C:\James\james-2.3.0\temp
Using JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin
The system cannot find the path specified.
--
There is nothing in log or temp directory. It just says "system cannot
find the path specified". It was working fine two days ago. I tried it
again today and got this. I removed 2.3.1 and tried it with 2.3.0 and
still the same error.
The only differences is that the last time java_home was not showing
(when it was working) and now JAVA_HOME is showing but the rest is not
working.
I was really looking forward to working with James ; have wanted to
for a long time but now this unreliability and breakdown is making me
pessimistic :( about its reliability.

I use JAMES under XP SP2 and it works with JAVA_HOME set.
BTW this is java issue. We simply use the standard JAVA_HOME variable.

Under windows xp sp2 I have to UNSET java_home property and james runs fine.
Under windows 2003 sp2 I have to make sure I set the java_home
variable or the server does not start.
I had to unset the java_home variable in xp because I had the wrong
path in there (included bin directory and was under the impression
that I needed to have the path to executable java file).

I use JAMES both under windows and under linux.
In BOTH environment I need to set the JAVA_HOME property.
If your james does not work with a JAVA_HOME property set then you have
a wrong information there.

This is the oddest thing. This James install does the EXACT opposite
in Windows server 2003 sp2.
When I try to run.bat it does not run until I set the JAVA_HOME
environment variable.
This is ridiculous. This conflict in software drives up costs and
causes the consumer to lose.

oops sorry; I must have put that \bin in there by mistake probably
because all the executables are under bin.

Maybe the problem is that JAVA_HOME should not have the ending "\bin"
but instead only the JRE/JDK root folder?

Removing JAVA_HOME works (when I "set JAVA_HOME=" at the prompt).
When James / avalon (?) can figure out where JAVA_HOME is then it
fails to start and gives an error message.
The error says "the system cannot find the path specified".
when it sees the home as in follows:
Using JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin
Odd! could it have something to do with the space in the file names?
When is unix / linux going to start accepting file names with spaces
in them? it is 2008 already.

Check that the java home is correct, try with a java home without
spaces in the path, and try removing it again..
set JAVA_HOME=
Sounds like the bat script can't even start Java.
