Issues with Installation of Appian. Please help.

Hi,
I've followed the guide
forum.appian.com/.../Quick_Start_Installation_Guide_for_Windows_and_JBoss.html
completely and thoroughly.
Within step 5, the validate and deploy functions both returned a successful output. However, when I try to run the command lines, the first one (start-suite) returns a few errors. The (start) within search-server seems to work but the standalone.bat has errors as well. The returned lines are seperated in a text file attachted to this post.
Can anyone help me with this? I don't have a technical background and don't know where to look or start. I'm keen to get started with Appian but I'm having serious troubles with getting it to work.
Regards,
Niek

Have you completed the pre-requisites?
forum.appian.com/.../Prerequisites.html
like setting the environment variables?
It makes sense that search-server and then jboss would fail if the engines never came up. I would not move on if the engines don't start.
Also, are you using the configure script?

Yes, I did the prerequisites steps and enironment variables are put. I used the configure script to do alle the steps until step 5 as the guide shows.
Is there anything I can do?

Can you try to start-suite again? And capture output and attach that full output. Do not try to start anything else unless engines start (check-engine will tell you that).

Once you start the server just wait for 15 engines to start. On the screen you can watch "Done !" message. After that start the search-server and watch the screen, somewhere you can find "RED to GREEN" message. Now start the jboss server. if you are starting jboss for the first time then it may more than half an hour.
Note :- Server engines are not started properly then go for fresh installation.

You need to change your operating directory to c:\\appian\\server\\_scripts\\ and only then call start-suite.bat
To do so, call the command "cd c:\\appian\\server\\_scripts\\" and then call "start-suite.bat" (no quotes).
You will also have to do this for the search server and for Jboss.

@Mihair, I tried that. Doing so opens up a seperate window "Appian Engine Monitor" which only has one line in it and hasn't changed for a while now. The line is:
2016-11-04 15:34:19,354 Engine monitor started on host 8TN7J72
I did the rest of the .bat files as you mentioned, directly navigating to the directory. The search server also popped up and I've looked for any [RED] lines, but I only see [GREEN]. (See attachments for returned lines) following it up with JBoss gives me the same error as before, see attachment for info of returned lines.
I really appreciate all your help, but it hasn't worked yet, is there anything else you can check or help me with?

Your engines and search server seem to have started successfully. You also seem to be using the wrong version of jBoss (7.0). According to
forum.appian.com/.../System_Requirements.html
you should use 6.4

@Mihair, so I should uninstall JBoss and redo all the steps regarding JBoss? Is there an specific way to apply your possible solution?

I believe that would be the best course of action. You would need to update your configuration repository, validate and reapply it to your new installation.
