Description

After installing Artemis as a service successfully using the following command-line:

artemis-service install

the service returns an error when I try to start it.

1. Go to the Services control panel
2. select the Artemis service entry
3. right click to bring up the context menu
4. click the Start menu item.

It looks like it tries to start, but then an error dialog is displayed (see attached image). When the service error log is checked, no error is logged. The following is logged:

2016-09-23 12:53:32 - Starting java  "-Xbootclasspath/a:C:\Program Files\Apache\apache-artemis-1.4.0\lib\jboss-logmanager-2.0.3.Final.jar" -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:+AggressiveOpts -XX:+UseFastAccessorMethods -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -classpath "C:\Program Files\Apache\apache-artemis-1.4.0\lib\artemis-boot.jar" "-Dartemis.home=C:\Program Files\Apache\apache-artemis-1.4.0" -Dartemis.instance=C:\ProgramData\Apache\AMQ -Djava.util.logging.manager=org.jboss.logmanager.LogManager -Dlogging.configuration=file:C:\ProgramData\Apache\AMQ\etc\logging.properties -Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:\ProgramData\Apache\AMQ\etc\login.config org.apache.activemq.artemis.boot.Artemis run
2016-09-23 12:53:32 - Started 2576

When launched from the command-line (not using the service wrapper), Artemis will launch and run just fine.
