eclim Windows XP installer error

[mpickard]

Hi -

When trying to install eclim_1.4.4.exe on Windows XP, I get the
following error

java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid distance code
at java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.read(Unknown Source)
at java.io.FilterInputStream.read(Unknown Source)
at java.io.FilterInputStream.read(Unknown Source)
at org.formic.bootstrap.util.Extractor.copy(Extractor.java:147)
at org.formic.bootstrap.util.Extractor.readArchive(Extractor.java:65)
at org.formic.bootstrap.Launcher.extractArchive(Launcher.java:186)
at org.formic.bootstrap.Launcher.run(Launcher.java:136)

I have Eclipse SDK 3.4.0M20080911-1700, jdk1.6.0_06, and VIM 7.2
installed.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've never seen this particular error. My best guess would be that
the file is corrupted in some way. Can you try downloading it again
and see if you receive the same error with a fresh download?

Eric -

Thanks for the reply.  Yes, I have tried downloading it in several ways and several times.  Still no luck.  I might try looking into building in myself.

Hmmm, can you try this from a dos shell:

C:\...> set FORMIC_OPTS="-Djava.ext.dirs"
C:\...> eclim_1.4.4.exe

That should rule out any incompatible libraries installed in your
default ext dir.
