Helma Windows service does not work

Hello,

I am having difficulties running Helma service on Windows XP SP2. I
read about submitting questions about it to dev-helma mailing list,
but as I also noticed something about closing it, I guess it is more
proper to post it here (hope I do not break any rules).

I downloaded the HelmaService.zip file from
http://adele.helma.org/download/helma/contrib/hannes/helmaservice/ and
followed instructions several times:

installservice.bat c:\progra~1\java\jre1.6.0_5 d:\dev\helma client

The information about succesful installation always appears, then I
add the following line to server.properties file as required:

webPort=8080

But then when I try to start the service from the services control
panel, it just gives me a message like this:

"The service has started and shut down. It happens when the service is
not needed anymore" - or something like that, I actually cannot
reinterpret what it exactly says as I use

I tried to run it from shell, but it does not work either giving me
something like this:

Starting Helma service.
Helma service cannot be activated.
The service did not report any error.

That's it. Maybe there is some problem with the JRE? As I am pretty
new in all of this, I have no idea. Thank you for any suggestions
