Could not set the osgi framework location

[kwillard]

I am a newbie the dm-server and have started out by installing the STS eclipse springsource-tool-suite-2.1.0.SR01-e3.5-win32 package.

This installed for me a dm-server-1.0.2.SR02 server.

I am running the 1.6.0_14 jdk

I seem to be able to start this server just fine inside the eclipse STS tooling but I am having trouble deploying my first simple war project to it.

So I decided to start the dm-server manually so I could go through a manual deployment process. However on launching the startup.bat (on windows)
I get the following error

C:\Program Files\springsource\dm-server-1.0.2.SR02\bin>startup.bat
[2009-10-07 09:23:14.005] main <SPKB0001I> Server starting.

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

I did download the discrete springsource-dm-server-ee-1.0.2.RELEASE package and when launching its startup.bat did not see this error.

It sounds like there's something a bit unusual about your STS installation. We've had problems with long path names on Windows in the past, so I recommend putting the STS installation directly in C:\.

Of course, you can use STS to work with the externally installed dm Server if you simply want to get on and forget about the dm Server that came with STS.

Thanks for the response.

That did fix that issue and it also fixed a problem I was having with deploying the example bundles to the dm server.
