Description teresa harriott CLA 2014-03-13 10:45:30 EDT 
Followed instructions at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Hudson-ci/Installing_Hudson_Windows_Service to install hudson as a windows service on a server with WindowsServer 2012.  The -jar hudson.war runs and I can go to http://locahost:8080 I select Install as Windows Service.  I get the lines below in the command window but it never completes.  It just hangs.

INFO:Hudson is ready.

I am not able to reproduce this with the following versions:
Hudson: 3.1.2
Windows Standard 2012
JDK 1.7.0_55

Hudson was installed successfully as a Windows service and restarted successfully as a service.

Could you provide more details about your environment (Hudson and JDK version?)
Comment 4 teresa harriott CLA 2014-04-24 08:14:49 EDT 
jdk-1.6.0
Hudson-2.2.1.war
Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard
Comment 5 Latha Amujuri CLA 2014-04-24 19:50:56 EDT 
I still cannot reproduce this with Windows Standard 2012 (64 bit, all updates installed), JDK 1.6.0_45 (64 bit) and Hudson 2.2.1.
Can you check your Windows application and system logs to see if there are any errors?
Comment 6 Geoff Waymark CLA 2014-04-25 05:13:11 EDT 
Just some quick questions to give us some more details.

1. Are you using the Correct upper case D:\ or C:\ ? It shouldn't matter but it's best to rule it out?

2. Does the directory you specify exist and/or have any contents when the process halts?

4. What user are you installing Hudson as, does it have local admin privileges?

Thanks.
