Problems starting Java service with AI 2.3

I am having trouble installing and starting a Java Service with version 2.3. 2.2 was working just fine. The behavior I see is that the install tries to start the service, the class defined in the service actually does start running, the installer keeps trying to start the service again and again and then finally gives up.

Is this a 2.3 problem, anyone else has experienced yet? I am using jre 1.5.

I also noticed I had to delete and redefine my Java Product when I moved from 2.2. to 2.3.

I realized my problem - I had defined the java product as a Graphical User Interface and not a Win32 service. I forgot I was unable to define my java product as a Win32 service after upgrading to 2.3. Well actually I could define it that way but then I'd end up with a ?? before the exe in the Files and Folders view.

I think this was happening because my install of AI 2.3 was missing aijcl.exe. Everything went back to normal when I reinstalled 2.3 and took the "Repair" option in its install.
