Today I tried installing Stardog on my Windows system and it has installed correctly, but I cannot start the Stardog Server from the Windows Services app. It keeps on saying that it failed to create java for some reason.

Here is the log:

[2022-02-02 11:36:01] [info] Commons Daemon procrun (1.0.10.0 64-bit) started

[2022-02-02 11:36:01] [info] Running 'Stardog-Server' Service...

[2022-02-02 11:36:01] [info] Starting service...

[2022-02-02 11:36:01] [error] Failed creating java

[2022-02-02 11:36:01] [error] ServiceStart returned 1

[2022-02-02 11:36:01] [info] Run service finished.

[2022-02-02 11:36:01] [info] Commons Daemon procrun finished

Any ideas of why this might happen?

I see you are starting it as a Windows service. Can you start it from the command line?

```auto
stardog-admin server start

```

Is there anything in `stardog.log`?
