    Description

      since update to 1.507 (from 1.505), no build is possible.

      it seems that fix of https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-15587 has broken XP compatibility.

      when starting to run any job, error message is :

      FATAL: Error looking up function 'CreateSymbolicLinkW': La procédure spécifiée est introuvable.

      java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Error looking up function 'CreateSymbolicLinkW': La procédure spécifiée est introuvable.

            OK.. I made some progress and wanted to help others who are having trouble. It appears that by upgrading to Java 1.7 (jre7) instead of 1.6 does the trick. I found out that just changing JAVA_HOME is not enough to be able to do the switch.

            If you go to Manage Jenkins, then system info (sysinfo).. check the java.runtime.version. You will see that it seems to ignores whatever is in JAVA_HOME.

            I discovered that the reason for this is that a Copy of the JRE at the time of initial installation was copied to JENKINS_HOME/jre.

            To fix this, I did the following...

            • net stop jenkins
            • rename JENKINS_HOME\jre to JENKINS_HOME\jre-backup (in my case, I actually copied the entire folder elsewhere to be sure I had a copy (just in case).
            • Copy the folder c:\Program Files\Java\jre7 to JENKINS_HOME/jre7.
            • After copying JRE7 to JENKINS_HOME, rename it to jre (of course, you might be able to do without the rename step).
            • Start up Jenkins with net start Jenkins
            • Login and go to sysinfo.. you should see the newer java.runtime.version.

            I put this together from a few of the notes above and wanted to share it with other WinXP users that might not easily find this resolution.

            Confirmed that replacing the JENKINS_HOME\jre folder with what jre7 folder I have in installed in C:\Program Files\Java\jre7, fixes this issue for my Windows Server 2003 SP2 Jenkins installation.
