Hi

a) I am a new user, so far love basex and I am on Win7. I use the zip file (rather than the setup program) and extract

b) I specifically set -Dorg.basex.path=c:\blah" in basexserver.bat and basexclient.bat

c) If I now start basexserver.bat from a command prompt and then from another command prompt start basexclient.bat and do an "info" I see DB_PATH, REPO_PATH etc. set correctly to "c:\blah" as it should be.

d) However if I run basexserver.bat -S (start as service) and then connect via basexclient.bat ,and do a info, the DB_PATH_REPO_PATH etc. are completely confused and basexclient thinks they are in its current directory. Moreover, if I actually create a database and add a file to it and close and then check where the data is stored, it is stored in the place basexclient thinks the DBPATH is rather than where it should be as per the server

e) I am sort of sure that the server is looking at the correct paths even when started in -S mode because I see

.basexhistory and .logs being created in C:\blah

Thanks in advance
