Dispairing. Windows install of DS 6.0 endless problems.

Question

Hellos..
Is it possible to get the Sun Java Enterprise 5 Directory Server installed on Windows from the JES5 suite?
The latest problem I face is that the cacao is not running. I discover this when trying to create a new DS instance from the DSCC
I get this when I try to examine cacao..
C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\DSEE\dscc6\bin>dsccsetup status
DSCC Application is registered in Sun Java (TM) Web Console
## Failed to run "C:/Program Files/Sun/JavaES5/share/cacao_2/bin/cacaoadm.bat" list-modules -r
#### The system cannot find the path specified.
## Exit code is 1
Cannot determine status of DSCC Agent because of an unexpected error
DSCC Registry has been created
Permission to access DSCC registry instance has been denied
You must be root user to perform this operation
Contents of file: C:/Program Files/Sun/JavaES5/share/cacao_2/bin/cacaoadm.bat
@ECHO OFF
#BASE#\\lib/private/perl\\bin\\perl -I #BASE#\\lib/private/perl\\site\\lib #BASE#/lib/tools/scripts/cacaoadm.pl %*
@ECHO OFF
Running this gives sure enough the "The system cannot find the path specified" error message.
Ok... not sure what #BASE# means.. so I renamed and edited the cacaoadm.bat file to look like:
"C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\share\cacao_2\lib\private\perl\bin\perl" -I "C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\share\cacao_2\lib\private\perl\site\lib" "C:\P
rogram Files\Sun\JavaES5\share\cacao_2\lib\tools\scripts\cacaoadm.pl" %*
When I run this .bat.. I get
C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\share\cacao_2\bin>mycacaoadm.bat
Perl lib version (v5.8.3) doesn't match executable version (v5.8.8) at C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\perl\5.8.3\lib/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread/Config.pm
line 32.

C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\share\cacao_2\bin>
Ok.. so I have Oracle DB running on my Windows machine as well.. why should it matter?
What can I do to get this cacao agent to start serving on port 1111whatever.
Should I just accept defeat and Junk SUN DS 6.x and advise our customer accordingly? Its a high visible client who prefers Windows and really couldnt care less which brand of LDAP server he uses.

Hi.
The rule is:
"On Windows systems in order to allow remote management capabilities when installing the zip distribution, you must install either as Administrator, or as a user who belongs directly to the local Administrators group."
So your user should be OK.
The issue is that the Common Agent Container has not been configured or mis-configured. I don't know why but now you have to deal with that. Modifying cacaoadm.bat is likely not to be sufficient and if you do this, you should use short name only: Program Files -> Progra~1. Rollback to the original file and try to run <install_dir>\share\cacao_2\configure.bat and then 'cacaoadm.bat rebuild-dependencies'. Then you should be able to use dsccsetup.
