I have glassfish v3 on windows 7 installed, but it won't start on 8080. I get typical dead page when I go to 8080 like you would expect if it's not running.

I tried to start it manually. C:\glassfish3\bin asadmin start-domain and what i get is "system cannot find the path specified"

I searched hi and low for an answer but most questions involve glassfish not starting because the port is not free. however that's not my issue.

I've tried reinstalling about a half dozen times and even rebooting. nothing changes

An alternative answer:

Download the zip version here: http://download.java.net/glassfish/3.1.2/release/glassfish-3.1.2.zip

Unzip this to c:\glassfish3

This command will work:

C:\glassfish3\bin\asadmin.bat start-domain domain1
