[jboss-user] Deployment Errors on startup of JBOSS

I've been trying for some time to install a working JBOSS (5.0.0.GA) without success. I've read the "Installation And Getting Started Guide" and tried to follow those instructions. I downloaded the zip file and extracted it per the guide above. I checked and added/revised environment variables, again per the guide above. I've searched the JBOSS forums for posts with similar issues - all to no avail. I would really appreciate some help with this - sample of stack trace below from boot.log: org.jboss.deployers.spi.DeploymentException: Error deploying: file:/C:/jboss-5/jboss-5.0.0.GA/server/default/conf/bootstrap/vfs.xml at org.jboss.deployers.spi.DeploymentException.rethrowAsDeploymentException(DeploymentException.java:49) at org.jboss.deployers.vfs.deployer.kernel.BeanMetaDataFactoryVisitor.deploy(BeanMetaDataFactoryVisitor.java:136) at org.jboss.system.server.profileservice.ProfileServiceBootstrap.initBootstrapMDs(ProfileServiceBootstrap.java:453) at org.jboss.system.server.profileservice.ProfileServiceBootstrap.start(ProfileServiceBootstrap.java:199) at org.jboss.bootstrap.AbstractServerImpl.start(AbstractServerImpl.java:405) at org.jboss.Main.boot(Main.java:209) at org.jboss.Main$1.run(Main.java:547) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: ClassLoader has not been set at org.jboss.deployers.structure.spi.helpers.AbstractDeploymentUnit.getClassLoader(AbstractDeploymentUnit.java:152) at org.jboss.deployers.vfs.deployer.kernel.BeanMetaDataFactoryVisitor.addBeanComponent(BeanMetaDataFactoryVisitor.java:60) at org.jboss.deployers.vfs.deployer.kernel.BeanMetaDataFactoryVisitor.deploy(BeanMetaDataFactoryVisitor.java:126) ... 6 more Mike G.
