STAX Error when executing VMMark2-STAX.bat - STAX Service Not Registered

[CharlieLlewelly]

Hi All,

I'm hoping someone can help. I have finished configuring all the systems required to run VMmark 2.5. I have configured the primeclient and client0 on the same machine, Windows 2008 R2 x64 however when I run VMMark2-STAX.bat I get the following error:

STAX Service Machine:  local

STAX Service Name:  STAX

WARNING: The STAX service is not registered on the specified machine.

Verify the STAX Monitor's properties.

However StafProc.exe appears to be running.

I cannot find any logs that might might point me in the right direction and the only info I have found on the forum regarding this is the following post which didn't resolve my problem (https://communities.vmware.com/thread/449927?start=0&tstart=0)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Charlie

Sorry, I was being a complete idiot and had saved staf.cfg to c:\staf\ not c:\staf\bin\!! Once the correct config was in place it obviously sprang into life!
