Environment

Novell Service Desk

Situation

Problem starting Tomcat 6 as a service under different versions of Windows and Java 1.6.0 (JDK)

Resolution

The messages showing in the jakarta_service_yyyymmdd.log file were:

[174 javajni.c] [error] The specified module could not be found.
[947 prunsrv.c] [error] Failed creating java C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0???\bin\client\jvm.dll
[1202 prunsrv.c] [error] ServiceStart returned 1

Per this post on forums.sun.com linked below, copying msvcr71.dll (located in C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_12\bin\) to the /system32 directory should solve the problem right away.
