Disclaimer: I didn't confirm this on Windows 7 but it works under Windows Server 2016. I.e. since there shouldn't be any relevant difference, it should be fine.

The service.bat included in JBoss EAP 7 expects a prunserv.exe at one of the following locations:

• %JBOSS_HOME%\..\jbcs-jsvc-1.0\sbin\prunsrv.exe or
• %JBOSS_HOME%\bin\prunsrv.exe

If you don't have the proper subscription/permission to download the JBoss Core Services Jsvc (e.g. because you just have a developer subscription), you can just download the prunsrv.exe as part of the freely available Apache commons-daemon package:

1. Download "commons-daemon-1.0.15-bin-windows.zip", e.g. from http://mirrors.advancedhosters.com/apache/commons/daemon/binaries/windows/
2. Unzip it into the %JBOSS_HOME%\bin folder
3. Run service.bat install

Instead of an error message, you get notified that your Windows Service has been successfully installed as "JBossEAP7" (unless you already have one with that name).
