The error you get is most probably caused by unquoted path that contains word "and" as in "C:\Documents and Settings\rest of the path".

To be honest we never got this error before. Maybe you have JBoss (or at least its deployment directory) installed in your home (user) directory?

Cheers,

Hi. Thanks.

That probably is the explanation. I first tried to install LAMS on c:\Program Files\LAMS and the installer said spaces weren't permitted so I used c:\LAMS.

Java is installed on Program Files. I don't think I gave any My Documents paths to the installer. So I'm not sure where the Documents and Settings came from.

Best,

It is a problem with environment variables that reference My Documents. I changed newant.bat to @echo on and found this:

C:\lams\apache-ant-1.6.5\bin>if "yes" == "no" goto runAntNoClasspath
and was unexpected at this time.

C:\lams\apache-ant-1.6.5\bin>if not ".;"C:\Documents and Settings\Ken Kahn\My Documents\eclipse\MoPiX2\src\com.kisgergely.gwt.canvas.jar";c:\program files\junit-4.4.jar;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_06\lib\ext\QTJava.zip"=="" goto runAntWithClasspath

C:\lams\apache-ant-1.6.5\bin>

The installation problems on my first computer were due to the value of CLASSPATH that included a quoted file from My Documents. That is where the "and" error message originated. After editing CLASSPATH it installed fine. Working fine now on computer #1. Will look into computer #2 soon (service not created problem).

Thanks for everyone's help.
