This is a problem with the windows service not retrieving the
correct process id of the WAS java process.
Problem conclusion
To fix this we changed the method used to get the process id
of the Application Server.
NOTE: If the server takes over a minute to complete its start
sequence, the service will go to the "started" state with the
stop functionality disabled to avoid the 1053 error.  After
the server's start sequence is successfully completed the
service will enable the stop functionality upon a refresh of
the services dialog.
