Solution
' J( s; m* R9 e$ t4 p+ Q! eTAO would report cannot start tcserver.
3 y. b) J# S' ]TC_ROOT and TC_DATA had space in the directory name.
' e- B7 g2 T) C3 U9 \2 pportal.bat would not call start_TcServer1.bat via the tcserver.xml
Edited the tcserver.xml and noted the TC_ROOT with short path name (DOS 8.3 syntax)
replacing the folder name with space.
$ J5 }, B  W! z) H9 v- N; B. DExample:
- k& C# e0 @' i+ `C:\PROGRA~1\TC_ROOT & C:\PROGRA~1\TC_DATA
Lauch portal.bat, now tcsever is started and able to login.
It is highly recommend that TC full installation directory has no space, including NX and
any other related softwares.
For example
TC_ROOT = c:\apps\X64\TC\TC11
TC_DATA = c:\apps\x64\TC\tcdata
$ t/ [0 i9 L! l& QX64 means 64bit TC software, while for 32 bit, please use X86
