I am trying to install Jenkins slave service after starting the slave via web start.
I get the following error when it tries to install on windows 10 and windows 8.1.
[JenkinsWorkDirectory]$ c:\JenkinsWorkDirectory\jenkins-slave.exe install
WMI.WmiException:AccessDenied
at WMI.WmiRoot.ClassHandler.Invoke(Object proxy, MethodInfo method, Object[] args)
at WMI.Win32ServicesProxy.Create(String, String, String, ServiceType, ErrorControl, StartMode, Boolean, String, String, String[])
at winsw.WrapperService.Run(String[]_args,ServiceDescriptor descriptor)
at winsw.WrapperService.Main(String[]args).
I can install the slave service without any issue on win 7.
Any idea why is this happening or is it some limitation of Jenkins or am i missing some dependency?
My jenkins version is 1.655 and using chrome browser when installing. Jenkins master is running on windows 7.
Thanks,
Daniel
I found another way to get the slave to install.
Open a command window with "Run as Administrator".
Change directory to the place where you saved the slave-agent.jnlp file.
at the prompt run "slave-agent.jnlp"
Now with the running slave click the menu item to "Install as Service".
The trick is to do it while running as an administrator. This installs the service running under localsystem.
Additionally, if you're like me and you need your jenkins routines to hit another machine, you'll need to change the service to run as a user with permission (network or otherwise) to do the task you want done.
Open a command window with "Run as Administrator".
Just in case, You may have trouble with the .jnlp in "Steve Brownell" instructions, then, run the first line of your error message, shown below.
c:\JenkinsWorkDirectory\jenkins-slave.exe install
goto your downloaded jenkins-slave.exe Application file.
goto properties -> compatibility -.> check run as administrator.
Now try installing it as service again. It will work.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_161\bin\javaws.exe" slave-agent.jnlp just run this from command prompt my issue got resolved from this as an administrator

I have to uninstall tomcat before reinstall it.But, I mistakenly deleted the file folder first and then uninstalled it from "control Panel", during this process I think somewhat might be got wrong. Now when I am trying to install it it is giving me the message:-
How can I overcome this?
it means that you have already installed a version of tomcat8 on your pc. But you can fix this problem by opening the cmd in administrator mode. then you start the command:
sc.exe delete tomcat8
That is because the server is not fully out of your computer, here follow these steps to remove the existing server on windows:
Navigate to Control Panel.
Open Administrative tools.
Open SERVICES.
You will find Apache tomcat version name, right click on it and open properties.
Cope the name of the server: Tomcat8/Tomcat9.
Now open and run the command prompt as an administrator:

Write the command: sc Delete Tomcat8/Tomcat9 and hit enter, the existing server is
removed and you are all set to install a new one.
I'm installing sonarqube on Windows Server 2012.
I have followed the following steps:
Downloaded sonarqube4.4 and extracted to C:\Sonarqube
Downloaded Java JDK 1.7.0_60 and jre 1.7.0_67 as well as jre7
Installed Windows SDK 7 and .NET Framework 4
Navigated to C:\sonar\bin\windows x86-64 and ran StartSonar.bat as an administrator, this ran ok with no output and Ihad to hot ctrl- Z to break
I then ran \windows-x86-64\InstallNTService.bat as an administrator and I am seeing the sonarQube services was launched, but failed to start.
Not sure what the problem is.
I believe you first ran \windows-x86-64\InstallNTService.bat successfully and then StartSonar.bat unsuccessfully (the inverse order of what you describe).
You probably have [this problem]: http://qualilogy.com/fr/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2013/09/Sonar_ServiceLaunchError2.jpg
Windows could not start the Sonar service on Local Computer.
Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.
In that case, the solution is to change the user/rights to launch the Sonar service: https://qualilogy.com/en/migrate-sonarqube-tomcat-to-windows-service/
Go to the Services window, find the Sonar service, and open the Properties windows to change the user it logs on as to one with sufficient permissions.
I was able to solve this problem by creating a new folder named “Temp” in C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\
The Log-File will show only
--> Wrapper Started as Service
Cleaning or creating >temp directory C:\Program Files (x86)\SonarQube\sonarqube\temp
<-- Wrapper Stopped
The SonarQube service was launched, but failed to start.
After a long search, I came up to this site http://zen-and-art-of-programming.blogspot.de/2013/03/installing-and-running-sonar-source.html.
Solution:
Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\ and create the directory Temp
2: Set the user rights to full access
3: Run the StartNTService.bat
I am using the datastax-community-64bit_1.2.5.msi for installing on Windows VM. I am using the silent install command
msiexec /i
C:\ddapplications\cassandra\datastax-community-64bit_1.2.5.msi /quiet
/qn /le C:\ddapplications\cassandra\installlog.txt
If I run the installation command from the command line it installs as expected. No issues.
If I run the command from a Windows Service that runs as LocalSystem, I get the following error.
Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround? I also manually tried creating a group named WORKGROUP and adding the SYSTEM user to that group.
The SYSTEM user exists in the VM.
=== Logging started: 6/7/2013 23:52:23 === Error 1609. An error occurred while applying security settings. WORKGROUP\SYSTEM is not a
valid user or group. This could be a problem with the package, or a
problem connecting to a domain controller on the network. Check your
network connection and click Retry, or Cancel to end the install.
Unable to locate the user's SID, system error 1332
=== Logging stopped: 6/7/2013 23:52:25 ===
Is your VM in a domain? What is the service that you are using to trigger the installer running as?
A possible workaround may be to make that service run as Administrator.
When I run my selenium test (mvn test) from jenkins (windows) I see only the console output. I don't see the real browsers getting opened . How can I configure jenkins so that I can see the browsers running the test?
I had the same problem, i got the solution after many attempts.
This solution works ONLY on windows XP
If you are using jenkins as a windows service you need to do the following :
1) In windows service select the service of jenkins
2) Open properties window of the service -> Logon-> enable the checkbox "Allow service to interact with desktop"
After then you should reboot the service jenkins
Hope this help you :)
UPDATE:
Actually, I'm working on a an automation tool using Selenium on Windows 10, I've installed Jenkins ver. 2.207 as windows application (EXE file), it's running as windows service and ALL drivers (Chrome, FireFox, IE) are visible during test executions WITHOUT performing a mere configuration on the System or Jenkins
I got the solution. I ran jenkins from command prompt as "java -jar jenkins.war" instead of the windows installer version. Now I can see my browser based tests being executed.
If you are already doing what #Sachin suggests in a comment (i.e. looking at the machine where Jenkins actually runs) and still do not see the browsers, then your problem may be the following:
If you run Jenkins as a service in the background it won't open apps in the foreground. You may either try to run it not as a service in the foreground, or run it as a Local System account and check Allow the service to interact with desktop option. In the latter case you may get into permission problems, though.
Update: To make sure this answer is understood properly by others: Jenkins Windows 'native' installation is not really native. It's a wrapper around Java that runs it as a service.
To interact with desktop GUI, you should launch slave agent via JNLP:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Distributed+builds#Distributedbuilds-LaunchslaveagentviaJavaWebStart
After adding the node in Jenkins (configured as Java Web Start launch), just make a startup batch script on the node machine:
java -jar slave.jar -jnlpUrl http://{Your Jenkins Server}:8080/computer/{Your Jenkins Node}/slave-agent.jnlp
(slave.jar can be downloaded from http://{Your Jenkins Server}:8080/jnlpJars/slave.jar)
See more answers here:
How to run GUI tests on a jenkins windows slave without remote desktop connection?
In the case of Windows 7 you should not install jenkins as windows application (because in this recent version, Microsoft decided to give services their own hidden desktop even you enable the functionality "interact with desktop" in jenkins service), you may have to deploy it from a war file as follows:
1) Download jenkins.war from Jenkins official site
2) Deploy it by the command prompt : java -jar {directoryOfJenkinsFile}/jenkins.war
3) Now you can access jenkins administration on http:// localhost:8080
Hope that helps you !
this is an issue for Jenkins. on Windows it is possible to access logon user's session (screen) under system account. to make the UI testing visible, Jenkins needs to bypass UAC (user access
control) at background. this solution works for me with my own service running as system account.
I also faced the same issue earlier in my local machine (Windows 10).
My test was running perfectly from the NetBeans but when I moved to Jenkins it was only running in console mode. I was unable to view the UI.
So for that, you just need to make your local machine as a Jenkins slave by creating a new slave node in your Jenkins and select that node to execute the Jenkins job.
If jenkins installed by windows installer it is showing only Console out put only. To see browsers download jenkins.war file and run java -jar jenkins.war from command line.
Go through this site:

If you have the following situation,
You are able to login to the remote machine
You don't see the Jenkins agent window
This slave machine is accessed by many users then try the following,
then try the following suggestion.
Login to slave machine
Go to Task manager
Users
Logout all the users
Then login again.
This worked for me.
I know that you can install your Windows Service via the VS deployment system which I've done. But how do you deploy updates after that? Each time I deploy a new version, it says that the service already exists and exits.
I tried to add a little DOS CMD file with the following:
net stop [ServiceName]
sc delete [ServiceName]
It would work fine if I could just get to run it, but the custom scripts options in the Deployment system doesn't allow that file type.
How can I either a). Update my package on the clients pc or b). run that uninstall utility from within my installer so I can run the update?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Storm
If the service is already installed, all you need to do is NET STOP it, replace the exe, then NET START the service.
