Problems starting the Coldfusion MX ApplicationServer service

[spryguy]

I realize this is an old thread, but I'm having the same problem and when I
start from the command line the following is output:

C:\CFusionMX7\bin>cfstart

Any ideas?

I've never seen this with Server edition but with multiserver, if you touch
web.xml (JRun watches this and restarts the application), you'll get this error
on Windows (even though cf.registry is a Unix/Linux thing).
