JES AS 8.1 not starting

After installing JES AS 8.1 on a Solaris 10 E40 from the iso image, I am unable to start the domain1 instance.

I am getting a class not found exception for com.sun.ejb.ee.timer.lifecycle.EJBLifecycleImpl class. I thought it was a classpath issue, but I looked at every jar file on the server and that package does not appear anywhere.

Any ideas?

start excerpt from server.log for domain1

It would seem that some of the Application Server packages were not properly installed. You could try uninstalling and reinstalling once again, if you are still running into problems I would suggest posting to Java Enterprise System installation forum:

I just uninstalled JES and installed again, and everything seems to be working fine. I did not install the node agent this time however, so I may try this again to narrow down the problem.Thanks all!
