Server halted
PS: I run it as administrator (right click> "Run as administrator"). I have windows 8.1 pro 64bit. Am I missing a few more installations?

This issue is caused by incorrect use of an invalid XMPP domain name. During installation a value similar to "chintan_pE" was used (but possibly including some Unicode characters that do not copy / paste on stackoverflow). This value is not a valid XMPP domain name. Typically you want to use a domain name that resembles a "normal" DNS name, such as "example.org".
Starting with Openfire 4.2.0, the installation checks if the provided value is valid before allowing the configuration to continue. This will prevent this error on new installations.
