      Due to an undocumented behaviour of PathFindOnPath Win32 API function, directory list scanning is terminated once an empty directory name is found on the list.
      For Java Service Wrapper, this condition is met when the PATH variable contains at least two consecutive semicolons.

      This can have on of the following side effects:
      1. Java is not found at all.
      2. Java from Windows System directory is used instead of the one specified in path.

            Yeah, it can be fixed by parsing PATH variable in a different way.

            Przemek,

            Can this be fixed at all?

            For example, use a different Win32 function. Or can we at least process the PATH variable and print an a very clear error with instruction on how to fix the PATH variable and stop?

            Cheers,
            Anton
