Thank you @splatch for the reply. I need some help here because I am stuck (I am trying to create a doc section on windows service installation steps)
I think that the problem is that the Karaf service wrapper installation does not take this directory layout file into account.
For example, if I execute:
openhab> feature:install service-wrapper
openhab> wrapper:install --name "openHAB2" --display "openHAB2" --description "openHAB 2 Service"
Creating missing directory: C:\openHAB2\userdata\bin
Creating file: C:\openHAB2\userdata\bin\openHAB2-wrapper.exe
Creating file: C:\openHAB2\userdata\etc\openHAB2-wrapper.conf
Creating file: C:\openHAB2\userdata\bin\openHAB2-service.bat
Creating missing directory: C:\openHAB2\userdata\lib\wrapper
Creating file: C:\openHAB2\userdata\lib\wrapper\wrapper.dll
Creating file: C:\openHAB2\userdata\lib\wrapper\karaf-wrapper.jar
Creating file: C:\openHAB2\userdata\lib\wrapper\karaf-wrapper-main.jar
Setup complete. You may wish to tweak the JVM properties in the wrapper configuration file:
C:\openHAB2\userdata\etc\openHAB2-wrapper.conf
before installing and starting the service.
MS Windows system detected:
To install the service, run:
C:> C:\openHAB2\userdata\bin\openHAB2-service.bat install
Once installed, to start the service run:
C:> net start "openHAB2"
Once running, to stop the service run:
C:> net stop "openHAB2"
Once stopped, to remove the installed the service run:
C:> C:\openHAB2\userdata\bin\openHAB2-service.bat remove
openhab>
The C:\openHAB2\userdata\etc\openHAB2-wrapper.conf has the following lines:
#********************************************************************

wrapper.java.classpath.2=%KARAF_BASE%/lib/wrapper/*.jar
wrapper.java.library.path.1=%KARAF_BASE%/lib/wrapper/
If I try to run C:> C:\openHAB2\userdata\bin\openHAB2-service.bat run, I get the following error:
jvm 1 | Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.karaf.wrapper.internal.service.Main
The org.apache.karaf.main-4.0.8.jar is in C:\openHAB2\runtime\lib\boot
If I change wrapper.java.classpath.1=%KARAF_BASE%/lib/boot/*.jar to wrapper.java.classpath.1=%KARAF_HOME%/lib/boot/*.jar, the script runs:
c:\openHAB2\userdata\bin>openHAB2-service.bat run

but none of the environment variables of openHAB 2 are taken into account… so the application does not work
To fix this, I need to modify (significantly) the C:\openHAB2\userdata\etc\openHAB2-wrapper.conf file (as suggested here: Install openHAB 2 in Windows 10 as Windows Service - #8 by ScoobyDrew)

Is there a better way to install the service wrapper on windows so it that doesn’t require all these fixes to the wrapper config?
Ps: Using OH 2.0.0 Stable Release Build
