I found the reason, the service can not use the jre12, when i uninstall the jre12 and use the jre8. And I use the server jre version :[download link](https://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/8u211-b12/478a62b7d4e34b78b671c754eaaf38ab/server-jre-8u211-windows-x64.tar.gz) The service can be started without any problem. ---
