I have installed Red 5 media server version 1.0 rc2 to a windows 2008 server, 64 bit.
I am trying to start the Red 5 service, that fails and the log is as below:

This seems from googling something to do with java version so I uninstalled the currect JDK and reinstalled JDK 6 Update 18 as described here: http://red5guide.com/install_jdk_jre_for_red5.html
I have set the windows PATH environment variable to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_18\bin
When i run java -version I get:
java version "1.6.0_18"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_18-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode, sharing)
However I still can't start the Red 5 service with the same log given as shown above.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Unsupported major.minor version 51.0 indicates that the compiled version should be using JDK version 7. Install that version and run it again.
