Jenkins agent can't get started

I set up Jenkins on a linux server and select a Win7 pc as an agent. I choose "launch slave agents via java web start" in agent configuration. when I use following command to start the agent, the Jenkins agent window showed connected and then at once turned to "terminated". Anybody help? Thanks a lot!

set SLAVENAME=%1
set CYGPATH=%2
if x%CYGPATH% == x set CYGPATH=C:\APPS\cygwin\bin

set PATH=%CYGPATH%;%PATH%

:RUN_SLAVE
echo %PATH%
javaws %MASTER%/computer/%SLAVENAME%/slave-agent.jnlp
exit 0

Just putting it out there so that it might be useful for someone...

I also had the same issue and on checking the Master log (nice place to start if you have this issue), I came to know that the Remote FS Root was wrong. Actually I was following the official tutorial and even on the tutorial, they suggest you to use "C:\Jenkins\" which is wrong!

Jenkins tries to copy some files to this path but in this case, inverted commas are not accepted. So setting it to C:\Jenkins\ worked out for me!

My issue was that my drive was not set. I told it to use the D:\ Drive because I had cloned it from another machine. However that drive didn't exist (Coudln't access it to place down the files).

There could be many things that are wrong, but because you report the connection is established and then terminated, I think you have an incorrect address for Jenkins itself in the Jenkins global configuration.

Jenkins does not use the "Jenkins URL" setting for a lot of things, but establishing connection with Java Web Start slaves is one of them, so please ensure "Jenkins URL" in the master configuration is set correctly.
