Hi Steve, Good observation! I did a search in my computer for all the files named virtuoso-t.exe I found 2 (my expectation, as the with the suffix ".old" is the remnant from reinstalling Virtuoso trying to get around the problem): C:\javatools\virtuoso\virtuoso-opensource\bin>.\virtuoso-t -? Virtuoso Open Source Edition (multi threaded) Version 5.0.10.3037-threads as of Feb 13 2009 Compiled for 32 Bit Windows Operating Environments Copyright (C) 1999-2009 OpenLink Software
C:\javatools\virtuoso\virtuoso-opensource.old\bin>.\virtuoso-t.exe -? Virtuoso Open Source Edition (multi threaded) Version 5.0.10.3037-threads as of Feb 13 2009 As an additional check, I copy and pasted the command line from the Virtuoso Windows services entry: C:\>c:\javatools\virtuoso\virtuoso-opensource\bin\virtuoso-t.exe -?

Also,from the Conductor front page: * Version: 05.09.3037 * Build: Feb 13 2009 So a couple of questions: 1) When you guys run Virtuoso 5.0.10.3037, is the log reporting that version as well? 2) Also, where does that version string come from? Looks like it must appear in more than one place in the installation. Thanks!

If I include it in the command line, Virtuoso will start and write out some nice logging info to the console. If I don't include it, the command line says the service is being started, but when you list it or look at the list of processes, it is not running. So the question then becomes: what would I have to do to run virtuoso as a service in Windows? Below are the commands I typed in the command window, in sequence, and the responses.

First thing is to try getting a version string from the binary. Start a CMD window, navigate to the Virtuoso installation's \bin\ subdirectory, and execute the command -- .\virtuoso.exe -? This may reveal a missing library (probably just need to adjust your PATH or other environment variable(s).) (Note - your Virtuoso executable may be named differently. Any/all that start with "virtuoso" should produce version strings.) If that succeeds, try starting the server in +foreground mode, and see if any errors appear. Either of these equivalent commands may be used -- .\virtuoso.exe +foreground .\virtuoso.exe -f For best results, copy the start command for the OpenLink Virtuoso service from the Services control panel, and add `+foreground` or `-f` to that string. The above short string may be used if the long command fails. Let us know how it goes...
