Nexus Service is not running properly

I am trying to run sonatype nexus-2.10.0-02-bundle on Windows 7 and Windows 2003 Server machine. But when I am running it shows following message

wrapper | Starting the nexus service... wrapper | The nexus service was launched, but failed to start. Press any key to continue . . .

When I have searched out the problem on Google I have found following resolution...

To fix this edit the property “wrapper.java.command” with the fully pathed location of a valid JVM7 in the wrapper.conf file

Which i have tried by replacing the above by following directory structure:

C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.7.0_45/bin, but still it throws the same problem...

Please help !!!

I think its better to check in [NEXUS_INSTALL_DIRECTORY]/logs/wrapper.log to get a more helpful error . For my case it was 

wrapper  | Unable to execute Java command.  The system cannot find the path specified. (0x3)

wrapper  | Critical error: wait for JVM process failed
wrapper  | The nexus service was launched, but failed to start.

Ok, its trying to access java from a wrong path.. I solved it by removing c:\programdata\oracle\java\javapath from my system PATH environmental variable, then retried nexus start

By the way, for nexus 3, the location of the log file is different

I got the same error. Instead of start-nexus, Run console-nexus as administrator. It prints the log and shows the exceptions. In my case conf/nexus.xml was corrupted. Right click on that file and restored it to previous version. Now run the start-nexus bat file.The nexus service will get started successfully.
