How to start SymmetricDS service?

Question

I opened "Services" and tried starting "SymmetricDS" service.

Then the system show dialog with below content:

---

"Windows could not start the symmetricds service on Local Computer.

Error 2 the system cannot find the file specified."

---

Then I opened "Registry Editor" and saw ImagePath like that:

"java" -Djava.io.tmpdir="C:\Program Files (x86)\Webstercare\MedSig 4\Tools\synchronisation\SymmetricDS\tmp" -jar "C:\Program Files (x86)\Webstercare\MedSig 4\Tools\synchronisation\SymmetricDS\lib\symmetric-wrapper.jar" init "C:\Program Files (x86)\Webstercare\MedSig 4\Tools\synchronisation\SymmetricDS\conf\sym_service.conf"

Please help me to start this service!

Thanks a lot.

It's possible your system can't find the "java" command on your system path, in which case you'd need to reinstall Java 8 or add the Java bin directory to your system PATH.

Are you able to run java from the command line?
