Hi,

i just installed 7.5.7 on my dev system and can’t start the service.

OS is Windows XP, Java 1.7.0\_13

Has to be a problem on my side, as returning to 7.5.7 beta4 (which worked) does not fix the problem. Any ideas what could cause this?

Ok, after a complete clean install everything is running.

This is odd, either the catapult.jar in the Ignition/lib folder got corrupted somehow, or is missing. I’d ask for your install\_log.txt but it would’ve been overwritten by your clean install. In any case, glad you got it working again.
