Hi, I had the same problem. Knife command was working. But as I needed to use this computer also as client, I dug around. The problem is in ruby-wmi/base.rb, replace ':' with ';' (lines 52 and 53) see bug report and my post about chef install on windows.

[...] I’ve been waiting to give the chef-client MSI a try ever since I noticed it had been released. I wanted to see if it really has made the numerous ( albeit fairly straight forward) steps to get chef-client working on Windows 2008 R2 that much easier. After all the easier it becomes the more converts there will be as the barriers to adoption are removed. Windows Read the original post on DZone… [...]

Hi,
Try testing using the knife command as this is what you will be using for management if that still give errors then it will mean a bit more digging around to try and work out what is happening.

I followed the directions above and am getting the same error that Mike posted back in May. I tried using both 1.8.7 and 1.9.2 versions of ruby, without success. I want to setup my Windows 7 Enterprise SP1, 64bit machine as a chef management station. I have the following installed:

Ruby 1.9.2-p290
DevKit-4.5.2-20110712-1620

*** LOCAL GEMS ***
bunny (0.7.4)
chef (0.10.4)

mixlib-config (1.1.2)

win32-api (1.4.8 x86-mingw32)
windows-api (0.4.0)
windows-pr (1.2.0)
yajl-ruby (0.8.2)

The installation goes smoothly, and I don’t get any errors. Then I try to run “chef-client -v” and get the following errors:

Spot on Grace! asyou know I’ve been an advocate for ‘the onus is now really on the developers to have written totally rocking code’ for a long time, and I agree that the cloud makes it even more important.

Comment on Setting up a windows AMI for use with Elastic Bamboo by Grace Mollison

Hi Cryil,
Thanks
You may have missed out including one of the jar files .
Feedback I’ve received about Studio 3.0.4 is that there may be some sort of mismatch with the elastic agent and bamboo with this version of Jira. If you mange to get a success with the tunnel test but get further errors such as “FATAL [Thread-2] [AgentBootstrap] Exiting due to fatal exception.
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name ‘eventManager’ defined in class path resource [applicationContextRemoteAgentStartupCore.xml]: Cannot create inner bean ” I would encourage you to log a call with Atlassian to get them to devote some effort to sorting the mismatch out f it’s not already sorted out.
Good luck

This is a great post and was able to follow it. Unfortunately when I run the batch file to test the bamboo agent, I get the following :
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/atlassian/bamboo/agent/elastic/client/ElasticAgentBootstrap
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.atlassian.bamboo.agent.elastic.client.ElasticAgentBootstrap

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
Could not find the main class: com.atlassian.bamboo.agent.elastic.client.ElasticAgentBootstrap. Program will exit.

my studio is at 3.0.4-studio-3 and there is a bamboo build for that so I downloaded the 3.0.3 elastic agent… Do you know what could cause the error ?
