when starting a slave via jenkins it now installs the service everytime and removes it when disconnected. The issue i am hitting is that the jenkins-slave.xml is ALWAYS getting copied to the slave now overriding out local config for JAVA as well as the connection port.

I tried changing the jenkins-slave.xml to read only but then trying to start the issue we only get a permission issue.

We originally setup through JNLP as service.
wanted
<executable>E:\jenkins\Java\jdk1.6.0_17\bin\java.exe</executable>
<arguments>-Xrs -jar "%BASE%\slave.jar" -jnlpUrl http://master/computer/slave1/slave-agent.jnlp</arguments>
overridden with
<executable>javaw.exe</executable>
<arguments>-Xrs -jar "%BASE%\slave.jar" -tcp %BASE%\port.txt</arguments>

port.txt is not present and i haven't found any reference on it for service setup

Checking if Java exists
java full version "1.6.0_17-b04"
