JBoss EAP 6 cannot be installed as Windows Service if installation path contains a whitespace.

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • JBoss EAP can not be installed/started as Windows Service if the path where JBoss EAP is installed contains a blank like c:\Program Files. The following does not work :
C:\Program Files\jboss-eap-6.4\modules\system\layers\base\native\sbin>service install
The base directory does not exist: C:\Program Files\jboss-eap-6.4\standalone

As a workaround, one can define a link using command : mklink /j c:\ProgramFile "c:\Program File"
