Start with cmd shell / doubleclick works without any problems.

Comment 1 Peter Nabbefeld 2014-05-26 08:06:22 UTC 
This line from the above output:

Press any key . . . java.lang.IllegalStateException: JBAS015849: Home directory does not exist: C:\Program Files\wildfly-8.1.0.CR2"        -c standalone-full.xml -c standalone-full.xml


It seems, there's a problem with backslashess (as the last one seems to escape the double quote, resulting in this home directory:
C:\Program Files\wildfly-8.1.0.CR2"        -c standalone-full.xml -c standalone-full.xml

The correct (existing)  home directory would be:
C:\Program Files\wildfly-8.1.0.CR2

(i.e. without the doublequote and the parameters).
Comment 2 Petr Hejl 2015-09-23 15:10:41 UTC 
Is this reproducible in NB dev build with stable WildFly 8 or 9? I can't reproduce it. Does your server instance start properly in command line?

Hi every Body,

This problem also lost me a lot of time but I ended up finding it.

You just have to configure the environment variables without putting the last antislask (\) at the end. Bingo! finally.
