Having installed Wowza server on Windows 7 final x64 bit + java6 + jdk 1.6.0-14 + java FX sdk 1.2 , and Clicking the Wowza pro startup icon I get:
Windows cannot find
\bin\java.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again.Any idea anyone what`s wrong ?
Thanks
Sounds like Java is not installed. Install java. If already installed open a command prompt and type:
java -version
It should return the Java version number. If the above command does not return a Java version number, then be sure your PATH variable includes the Java bin location.
Also be sure the JAVA_HOME environement variable is pointing to the root directory of your Java installation.

JAVA_HOME should be set to:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6
Not:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin
But I think the current problem is something else. It looks like a permission problem.
C:\Program Files\Wowza Media Systems\Wowza Media
Server 2 Preview 7\logs\wowzamediaserver_access.log
Be sure the user you are logged in as has full file permissions to this directory and all files as sub-folders:
C:\Program Files\Wowza Media Systems\Wowza Media
Server 2 Preview 7

I don’t think it is necessary to run Wowza, but to make the java -version command work from anywhere you do have to add path to java.exe in your Path variable, something like this:
;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\bin
On XP you edit path by right clicking My Computer → Properties → Advanced Tab → Environment Variables Button. Then scroll down in the list of System Variables to Path, and click edit, then add correct path to the end of the with a semi-colon separator. And I think you have to reboot. That makes the java command available from anywhere.
or you can do it like this:
cd C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_16\bin
java -version

See what you get in cmd window with these commands:
echo %WMSAPP_HOME%
echo %WMSCONFIG_HOME%
Should be path to Wowza install, and should not end with “/”

I solved the problem by running the ide as admin
Thanks for responding Charlie.
You solved my problem , but I am still not sure about one issue :
run>java -version gave:
Windows cannot find java
My JAVA_HOME held the path to jdk 1.60_14 so I changed it to the jre6.
Now the Wowza server does startup with no issues, and http://localhost:1935 is all good.
But run>java -version still gives the same message about not finding Java. could this be a windows 7 issue, that it needs some different command to locate the Java ? ( also: I have no clue where to find the path variable if this is still relevant at all)
Thanks a lot for your help.
I Pointed JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin
But I get the foolowing on Windows 7
