Windows 7 Enterprise - Broker issue

,
1

Hi,

We are trying to install webMethods broker 8.0 in our machine (OS - Windows 7 Enterprise).

During broker installation the installer tries to start the broker but it is not started because of this error.

Unable to open connection to host ‘localhost’. Error ‘java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect’ was reported by the socket call.

Tried starting this way too.
F:\SoftwareAG8\Broker\bin>broker_start localhost:4449
Unable to open connection to host ‘localhost’. Error ‘java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect’ was reported by the socket call.

Timely help is much appreciated.
