Hi,

I have been trying to use node-java with node 6.10 (installed using node-v6.10.0-win-x64.zip). I installed VS 2012 Express (using VS2012_WDX_ENU.iso) and Python (python-2.7.6.amd64.msi) and when I ran the simple test:

var java = require('java');
var javaLangSystem = java.import('java.lang.System');

javaLangSystem.out.printlnSync('Hello World');

That works.

However, when I try a Node.JS+node-java app that accesses a Java class that I built myself using Eclipse, I am getting the error below:

...module.js:583

return process.dlopen(module, path._makeLong(filename));

^

Error: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.

I found some threads that indicated that I may need to use a 32 bit node.js (and rebuild the node-java), but wanted to check if that is the case? On Windows, is node-java limited to working on only 32 bit Windows?

Thanks,

Jim

I am trying another approach to build node-java on Windows. I setup a Windows 7 32 bit system and installed a 32bit jdk, but I am not able to build the "java".

When I run "npm install java", I am getting:

I gather that the "14.0" refers to VS 2015, but since I am on Win7, VS 2012 is the most recent version that I can run on Win7.

Is that maybe why this error is occurring, like this can only build on very specific version of Windows and only with the "right" combination of Visual Studio? Does anyone know why this might be happening?

Thanks,

Jim

I gave up on Windows 7 and tried another Win32 machine, a Win8, but the VS 2013 wouldn't install because .NET Framework 4.5.1 wouldn't install.

So I'm pretty much dead in the water with this (node-java on Windows).

The closest I have is the original Node.JS on my actual workstation, but that is giving the original error in this thread about "not a win32" :(.
