Hi

I think you got this error because Nuxeo is installed under a path with spaces, which corresponds to the known issue https://jira.nuxeo.com/browse/NXP-15982

You may have to follow the instructions in this paragraph to start Nuxeo successfully

Kind regards, Thierry

Many thanks, it does not seem to be the reason though, as it is installed at C:/Nuxeo. I reinstalled several times Nuxeo 7 and now Nuxeo 6, with identical results. So at least it gives a consistently bad behavior. No clues 😞 it is a w2003 installation with nothing else.
