This page is relevant if you have installed Crowd as a Windows service.

Problems may occur when trying to set up Crowd to run as a Windows service with JDK 1.6. The problem is caused by a failure to locate MSVCR71.DLL, which can be found in your %JAVA_HOME%/bin. There are two options to resolve this problem:

  • Add %JAVA_HOME/bin to PATH, then restart the server.
  • Or copy MSVCR71.DLL to system path: either C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 or C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32

Notes for Windows Server 64-bit Operating Systems

Windows Server 64-bit will not start Crowd as a service as the tomcat.exe that ships is 32-bit. Install a 64-bit JDK and set JAVA_HOME to its location. Then follow the same steps above for Installing Crowd as a Windows Service. You'll need to replace {CROWD_INSTALL}\apache-tomcat-5.5.20\bin\tomcat.exe with one compiled for 64-bit from this location: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/connectors/trunk/procrun/bin/.
