I just downloaded MyEclipse 10.5 and trying it out. I followed the tutorial to add the webspere developer server to the IDE. I am on windows 7 64bit.

I think it's a permission thing, but I get the following error:
Caused by: com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.AdminException: ADMU7707E: Failed while trying to determine the Windows Service name for server: server1;
probable error executing WASService.exe: com.ibm.websphere.management.exception.AdminException: ADMU7709E: Unexpected exception while processing server: server1; exception = java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\apps\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\bin\WASService.exe": CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation.

chernandeznet,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue. This might be a Windows 7 security issue because of your User Account Settings.

Can you answer some more questions for us ?

1. Can you please copy paste the Installation Details from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details ?

2. Which version of Websphere Application Server are you working with ?

3. Can you check if you can start the WAS without any issues outside of MyEclipse ?

4. Could you try running MyEclipse Blue as administrator and see if that helps? .You may need to right click the shortcut and select "Run as Administrator".

5. Can you try changing the User Account control and see how it works ?

Here are couple of links which might help :

I am running WS 7.0
running myEclipse as Administrator got the app server started. Thanks!
