Description

I use the Amd64 version of procrun to run a .jar as a service, it works on several machines with the same configuration but on one of them, It's impossible to start the service.

When the service is installed (with this command) :

xx.exe //IS//xx --Install=xx.exe" --Description="xx" --Jvm=auto --Classpath=xx.jar --Startup=auto --StartMode=jvm --StartClass=Controller.ServiceMain --StartMethod=main --StartParams=start --StopMode=jvm --StopClass=Controller.ServiceMain --StopMethod=main --StopParams=stop --LogPath="./Logs" --StdOutput=auto --StdError=auto --StopTimeout=120 --LogLevel=debug

it generates this log :

And if I try to start the service again after the installation, no log is generated anymore.
