Can't start cq5 service under windows 7 64bit

One year ago I installed successfully CQ5 as a windows service under Windows 7 32bit. After that I've switched to Windows 7 **64bit**. Currently I have a project using CQ5 so I install again it (under Window 64bit). CQ5 starts fine with `crx-quickstart/bin/start.bat` using command line. Also I don't see any problem when installing as service with the command `instsrv.bat cq5`:

    Installing service cq5
        runs in   E:\servers\cq5-server\author\crx-quickstart
        uses      E:\servers\cq5-server\author\crx-quickstart\opt\helpers\\..\..\app\cq-quickstart-5.5.0-standalone.jar
        starts    org.apache.sling.launchpad.app.Main
        redirects output to: E:\servers\cq5-server\author\crx-quickstart\logs\startup.log

But when I run `net start cq5`, I get an error as below:

    The cq5 service is starting.
    The cq5 service could not be started.

    A service specific error occurred: 0.

    More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3547.

And checking log file commons-daemon.2013-09-01.log, I see:

    [2013-09-01 23:26:36] [info]  Commons Daemon procrun (1.0.8.0 64-bit) started
    [2013-09-01 23:26:36] [info]  Running 'cq5' Service...

    [2013-09-01 23:26:36] [info]  Commons Daemon procrun finished

Could anyone let me know what I'm wrong?  
I'm following the instructions at [Installing and Starting Adobe Experience Manager as a Windows Service] http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/getting_started/download_and_startworking.html

Thank you very very much :D

 

I have the same problem. Followed the instructions exactly and the service installs but just won't start.

Did you raise a ticket ?

Sorry but till I couldn't sign in to create a ticket.

After login to the site (I see "Welcome Tuan Dang" on the top right hand), I click on Create a support ticket.

A pop-up dialog is shown up, I enter my Adobe ID (my email) and password. But after some seconds, the pop-up is shown again to require me to enter credentials!!!

Many thank for your help but I think I will stop finding a bug-fix for the problem!

Thank you!!!!!!

Hi Fraser,

Did you try to create a ticket about this problem?

No, I assumed you were going to try again, so I didn't want to confuse things by creating 2 tickets for the same problem. Can you try again and if you still have a problem, let me know and I will do it.

Try this -- on that page -- you can click 'Chat with an agent' - click on that and let them know your problem with logging a ticket. Your Adobe Credentials should enable you to log a ticket.

You are following a similar procedure that is documented here:

http://dev.day.com/docs/v5_2/html-resources/cq5_guide_system_administrator/ch03s04.html#sect_windows_service

And this is not starting on Win7? 

I will check to see if we have a known issue.
