Thanks Zac
It looks like a Dos windows flashed by super fast then closes.
Netstat reports no ports opened on the expected ports. Tomcat does not seem to start

Thanks.
I don’t think that’s it because I actually HAD it set to 8 JDK and have the same problem. I set it back to 10 because I was still trying things.
Hello,
It’s working now…but I’m still not sure why. Let me explain.
After several days of trying everything I could…including JRE & JDK 8 & 10, I could never get it to work.
Then I started thinking that maybe I’ve just messed things up by installing too many different things so I did a System Retore back to the point before I installed ANY JDK or JRE and before I installed Xampp and before I installed Lucee. I uninstalled Railo 4 (which had still been on the system) and even went through the Registry and deleted all remaining entries related to Railo. I then UNinstalled JAVA (everything, jre, jdk …Java etc)
Next I deleted ALL the Java folders under C:\Program Files
After doing all that, I restarted the system and downloaded a fresh copy of Xampp
I installed Xampp WITHOUT Tomcat (Only Apache Server and MySQL and PHP basically)
Next, I reinstalled Lucee. After doing this, it worked. So I’m not sure what exactly I did that got it to work.
Thank you (all who gave me advice) as it really helped me plow through this regardless.
If you you have and idea why it started working after doing the above by all means please let me know.
BTW…I DID NOT reinstall ANY JDK, JAVA or JRE whatsoever. I’m a bit surprised it worked without me doing that but it does.
This is a bug in the windows batch file that creates the windows service. This script should be using the JRE that is shipped with the installer, but I must have missed something.
I will attempt to address this for the next installer build.
@LuceeInTheSky If you still have the install.log file for one of those failed installs, that would be helpful in tracking down this issue.
The service.bat file included in the Tomcat directory is what creates the Lucee/Tomcat service. It’s possible with the XAMPP install there was a conflict (or mix-up or whatever) with the service name or a specific environment variable name. Having the install.log for one of the failed installs would tell me exactly what happened.
I just tried installing Lucee Express for 5.2.7 on a fresh iMAc and I get the same error:
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=/Users/modius/workbench/lucee-express-5.2.7.62/endorsed is not supported. Endorsed standards and standalone APIs
in modular form will be supported via the concept of upgradeable modules.
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
It’s annoying because Java 10 is now the default Java offering for Mac OS. It just looks like Lucee is broken. An interim solution might be some conditional logic in the ./startup.sh to check for Java 10 and warn the user, assuming we can’t patch that in a hurry.
@isapir@IamSigmund any chance we can get this running sooner rather than later?
