Hi,

I found GenMAPP very powerful for pathway analysis. However, when I
try to install GenMAPP cs to my windows 7 computer. There is always a
error message "The JVM could not be started.The main method may have
thrown out an exception." comes out and I couldn't start it. I intall
GenMAPP-CS on my another windows 7 computer and it works fine. Is
there anyone encountering this problem before? How can I solve this
problem? Really appreciate your help.

Hi Yongsheng,

The default JVM for Windows 64bit machines is actually the
32bit JVM. Hence, the 64bit version of JVM won't work if
the 32bit version is installed.

To check, which version you have, open a Windows DOS
prompt and type �java -version". You should see a readout
such as this:
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build
1.6.0_29-b11-402-10M3527) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server
VM (build 20.4-b02-402, mixed mode).

Version 1.6 corresponds to Java version 6 and 64-Bit
indicates the bit version. Once determined, download the
appropriate installer (e.g.,
GenMAPP-CS_0_2-beta_windows_32bit.exe).

Best,
Nathan

I'm having the same error. Like Binou, Genemapp installs fine. I'm using both 32-bit versions. I am using the Java build 1.6.0_30-b12.

Hi Binou,

When you type: java -version

Do you have 1.6 and 32bit as the detected version?
Best,
Nathan

Hi,
I have the same bug, even with an updated JMV version for Window XP 32 bits (jre-7u9-windows-i586.exe). The installation file GenMAPP-CS_0_2-beta_windows_32bit.exe runs well but the program intalled can not be started with the notification ""The JVM could not be started.The main method may have
thrown out an exception."
Thank you for your help!
