Solution

  • Thank you so much Gerhard Barnard for helping me. I solved my issue.

    First, I installed my metabase service using following command.

    nssm install metabase "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_144\bin\javaw.exe" -jar metabase.jar

    And then set the startup directory.

    nssm set metabase AppDirectory "C:\Program Files (x86)\POS"

    Hope it will help someone.
