Waiting for support to get back on me on this one, but thought I would try here as well. V7.5.11 running on a Windows Server 2008 Java 6. PC ran an update last night and after that Ignition service will not start. From wrapper log file:

STATUS | wrapper | 2017/10/03 10:33:15 | Starting the Ignition Gateway service…  
FATAL | wrapper | 2017/10/03 10:33:15 | The argument ‘Files\Inductive’ is not a valid property name-value pair.  
FATAL | wrapper | 2017/10/03 10:33:15 | The argument ‘Files\Inductive’ is not a valid property name-value pair.  
ERROR | wrapper | 2017/10/03 10:33:15 | Unable to start the Ignition Gateway service - The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. (0x41d)

Anyone know what this means

> If you look at your Ignition Gateway service properties, what does the “path to executable” look like? There may be an issue there with the path to the conf file missing quotes.

Indeed that looks to be the case. How would I insert the quotes?
