Solution
TAO would report cannot start tcserver.
0 p3 G: d- y0 \% U4 `$ A( mTC_ROOT and TC_DATA had space in the directory name.
portal.bat would not call start_TcServer1.bat via the tcserver.xml
+ T" {/ T3 M; `' h5 _; c  PEdited the tcserver.xml and noted the TC_ROOT with short path name (DOS 8.3 syntax)
replacing the folder name with space.
5 V& [! x, F) K* QExample:
C:\PROGRA~1\TC_ROOT & C:\PROGRA~1\TC_DATA
Lauch portal.bat, now tcsever is started and able to login.
8 s* @0 r6 a( ?% _0 p/ n/ O) y5 m# MIt 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
$ W: n6 y  w/ h- c# bTC_DATA = c:\apps\x64\TC\tcdata
X64 means 64bit TC software, while for 32 bit, please use X86
