A note for users on Windows installation of ServiceDesk Plus:
We have changed the target to start the ServiceDesk Plus server from
"Windows Start menu -> Programs -> ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus -> ServiceDesk Server" and ServiceDesk Plus Desktop shortcut icon since this upgrade. This needs to be done by users who have upgraded from any of earlier builds (from 4.0, 5.0) to ServiceDesk Plus 5.5. This can be changed as follows,

    1. Right click 'ServiceDesk Server' option and choose the Properties option.
    2. Change the value in Target field from

    <ServiceDesk_home>\jre\bin\javaw.exe -Dproduct.home=. -cp ..\lib\startupclasses.jar;..\server\default\lib\SDUtils.jar com.adventnet.start.ProductStarter StartServiceDeskService ..\server\default\conf\TrayIconInfo.xml

    to

    <ServiceDesk_home>\bin\startSDP.bat

    where <ServiceDesk_home> is the ServiceDesk Plus installation directory which will be typically like C:\AdventNet\ME\ServiceDesk directory.

    3. Click "Apply", followed by "OK" button

    The step 1 to 3 has to be repeated for the ServiceDesk Plus desktop icon.
