Can't start cruiser desktop 1.5

[John Campbell]

I cannot get the recently-downloaded Cruiser Desktop 1.5 to run. When I attempt to start it from cruiser.bat I get a series of error messages:

I see same error. Tested on two PCs, W10, Java 1.8.0_191. 

Cruiser 1.4.3 is still working.

Thanks for the report, seems strange as cannot reproduce such behavior.

The exception happens in third-party SVG Salamander library's latest version, which is used by Mapsforge & VTM in order to parse the svg resources of the render themes.

Can you try deleting the Java preferences for Cruiser in your OS and run it again?
Depending on your platform those could be in Windows registry or macOS / Linux filesystem.

Also are you sure that have not mixed old and new Cruiser files?

If delete any Java preferences, just remember to backup your bookmarks via their Export menu.

Package was unzipped to d:\GC\Cruiser1.5clean

Registry [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\/Talent /Cruiser] and [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\/Talent /Cruiser /G/L] were deleted and behaviour is same.

You are on Windows, with what Java, Oracle?

I don't have Windows available, but a friend was able to reproduce this issue on Windows.

That's strange since on linux it runs flawlessly..

I am on W10 (1703). Java is 1.8.0_191 64bit.

With Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_141-b31) the error is same.

There is nothing in HKLM for Cruiser. Now I am on PC where I am not admin. No access there.

I am on W10 Pro 1803 (OS build 17134.472) 32-bit x64; Java 1.8.0_191 x86

I removed all Cruiser-related keys from the registry with no effect.

[Emux]

I found what happens specifically on Windows and will release a new improved version soon.

Cruiser 1.5.1 was released with the needed improvements for Windows desktop.

Thanks again everyone for the report!
