I am trying to run a simple java jar as a windows service. After creating the service and when trying to start it I get the below error:
ServiceStart returned 5. The directory name is invalid.

Windows event viewer displays the below, even though I am running command as admin:
The DaemonService service terminated with the following service-specific error:
Access is denied.
Command used to create the service:
start.bat
set JVM_DLL="C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_211\bin\client\jvm.dll"
set JAVA_H="C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_211\bin"
prunsrv.exe //IS//DaemonService --Description="Agent Demon Service" --Classpath="D:\procrun\daemon.jar" --StartMode=java --StartClass=com.oracle.TestDaemon --StartParams=start --StdOutput=auto --StdError=auto --JavaHome=%JAVA_H% --StartMethod=start --Jvm=%JVM_DLL% --StopMode=java --StopMethod=stop --StopParams=stop --StopClass=com.oracle.TestDaemon --StdOutput=D:\procrun\logs\stdOut.log --StdError=D:\procrun\logs\stdErr.log --LogLevel=Debug --LogPath=D:\procrun\logs --LogPrefix=com-daemon
I have an extremely simple code as below in the daemon.jar and the jar works if executed using java -jar:
package com.oracle;
public class TestDaemon {
private static boolean stop = false;
public static void start(String[] args) {
System.out.println("start");
try{
Thread.sleep(5000);
}catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
while (!stop) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
public static void stop(String[] args) {
System.out.println("stop");
stop = true;
System.exit(0);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Executing main");
if(args== null || args.length == 0){
System.out.println("Args is null");
args = new String[1];
args[0] = "start";
}
if ("start".equals(args[0])) {
start(args);
} else if ("stop".equals(args[0])) {
stop(args);
}
}
}
