Hi,

I downloaded eclipse (2.1.2). I then downloaded MEW 27RC2 (trial version).
When running EnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_020700RC2.exe I get an error message saying:
“Can’t launch executable. Could not load jvm.dll Try reinstalling the Java VM or change the JavaVM used by the application”

I am running on Windows 2000, SP3
I previously had installed the java sdk (both j2sdk1.4.2_01 and j2sdk1.4.2_02).
I also installed J2EE 1.4 recently.
All of the above are installed on my D: drive
The SDK being used is D:\j2sdk1.4.2_01 (this is also the path eclipse shows).

When I installed I think I ran the workbench installer before I actually started eclipse. I have since started and stopped, but the error stays.

Any ideas?

Thanks, ron

Ron, drop to a console and type “java -version”, what version does it report? Double check your environment variable PATH to make sure you aren’t pointing to some strange JDK. You can force the installer to use a certain VM by executing it from the command line like so:

c:\>set LAX_VM=/path/to/java.exe EnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_020700RC2.exe

Hi Riyad,

thanks for the quick reply.

my output is like this:
C:\>java -version
java version “1.4.2_01”
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_01-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_01-b06, mixed mode)

I then tried using it as you described:
D:\downloads>set LAX_VM=D:\j2sdk1.4.2_01\bin\java.exe

D:\downloads>EnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_020700RC2.exe

And unfortunately I am getting the same result 🙁

Ron,

I believe we’ve run this one down a few times. Here’s one of the links to get you going:

Great, thanks!

Setting PATH to just the jdk and using javaw worked!
