version 1.10 64 bit version JRE error

[staticwarp]

Hi there, Thanks for the new version of this wonderful program! The x86 version works great on my win7 x64 home pc, but the 64 bit version generates the following error when i attempt to open it:

"A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Develpment Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run OpenElectribeEditor. No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations: C:\~\OpenElectribeEditor-v1.1.0-win32.x86_x64\OpenElectribeEditor\jre\bin\javaw.exe javaw.exe in your current PATH"

I just wanted to report this in case it's a bug and not something wrong on my end. I'll keep using the x86 version for now, please let me know if there's something else I need to install to run this (I have the latest version of Java installed). thanks again!

This probably won't be much help, but:

OpenElectribeEditor is built on Eclipse (an IDE), so some of these problems are similar to issues that people have seen when running Eclipse.  In retrospect, I should not have built this on Eclipse (but I wanted to learn something new).  Anyways, here's a post with someone having the same issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12426810/eclipse-wont-start-no-java-virtual-machine-was-found

Instead of an eclipse.ini, this program uses: OpenElectribeEditor.ini

You could try specifying the -vm open there.

I've also read that this problem could occur if you have a 32 bit jvm installed (i.e. when you installed java, you installed the 32 bit version, not the 64 bit version).

Can you open a command prompt, and run:

java -version

That should tell if you have a 32 or 64 bit JVM installed.

Hopefully I can help figure this out.  If we figure this issue out, I'll try to add this to the wiki page (or create an FAQ).

Thanks for the feedback!  Let me know if this helps at all...

i'm running java 1.7.0_11.

thanks for the advice - i'll stick with the 32 bit version for now :)

When you ran: java -version

did it happen to print out whether or not it was 32 or 64 bit?

For instance, here's my output:

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_37"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_37-b06-434-11M3909)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01-434, mixed mode)

I'm running the 64-bit version...

Anyways, sticking with the 32 bit version should be fine.  You're not going to see any performance differences- the only reason I compiled different versions is due to the fact that some people will have the 32 bit JVM installed, and some people will have the 64 bit version installed (and I think Eclipse apps need to match the version).
