start_service.bat runs the below command and we get the below result. Can you help?
PS C:\Program Files\Atlassian\Confluence> net start Confluence200715163754 The service name is invalid.
More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2185.
Attempting to open http://localhost:8090/ on the local machine results in

Thanks
I had same exact issue and Marcus's solution helped. However mine problem was I had jdk and jre installed but pointed to the incorrect location.
In your environment variables, ensure JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME are set correctly. My JAVA_HOME was set to "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_51" but it should really be "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_51"
Once you get all the java variables fixed, simply run "C:\Program Files\Atlassian\Confluence>service.bat install" to install the windows service then start the service.
Have you installed the JDK? I was having the same issue on Windows Server 2008 R2 and this solved it:

Hi Guilherme,
none of the above is correct.
We installed using atlassian-confluence-5.7.3-x64.exe
We took the defaults which included installing confluence as a service
At the end of the process we saw this:
When the browser launched we saw this
After that I checked the service. I ran the shortcut installed on the Start screen
I tried the localhost:8090 again and got the same result as above.
I checked the properties of the Start Confluence Service [8090] shortcut.
That shortcut referred me to
C:\Program Files\Atlassian\Confluence\ start_service.bat
That batch file produced the output
PS C:\Program Files\Atlassian\Confluence> .\start_service.bat
The service name is invalid.

PS C:\Program Files\Atlassian\Confluence>
I opened start_service.bat and found the command

rem Start script for the Confluence Service
rem
net start Confluence200715163754
I ran the net start command and got
The service name is invalid.

I uninstalled and reinstalled confluence and got exactly the same result the second time.
Is there something wrong with atlassian-confluence-5.7.3-x64.exe?
thanks

Hi Tushar,
It looks like you have installed the service with another name.
I guess you have executed the following prompt command:
If you have used this parameter, your service name is Confluence and not Confluence200715163754.
Let me share our documentation about how to install Confluence as a service.
Cheers,
