Answer 5

You need to run that command as an administrator.

• Right-click on the command prompt entry in the start menu / task bar
• Select "Run as Administrator"
• Navigate to the Archiva installation directory

Then run:

bin\archiva install
net start archiva

Answer 6

I'm not sure this is supported by the wrapper. Maybe the way to go for you is to use the war within a servlet container. Have a look here: http://archiva.apache.org/docs/2.1.0/adminguide/webapp.html
