Open Electribe Editor on Win7 x64 - Java Error

[keith303]

Hey, i really would love to use this higly praised editor for my new
ESX-1 SD.
Unforuntately i'm getting the following error as soon as i click on
the OpenElectribeEditor.exe.

"Java Was started but returned error code=13"
for more details, see:

i tried uninstalling my java and reinstalling the latest version(s)
(bit 32 and 64bit) from the official site.
it didn't help.

any solution?

Very weird. I tried googling that error, and saw quite a few
suggestions, but one in particular looked interesting:

Someone said that having a pound sign in their path caused problems.
I see in your screenshot that you are keeping the program in a
"#Downloads" folder. Can you try moving it to a folder that doesn't
have a pound sign in it?

If that doesn't work, then I think it might be something w/ x32 vs
x64, or using a specific version of the JVM. I wonder if the recent
Java 7 release broke this program.

I'll try to do some testing. Let me know if the # issue fixed
anything.

Something else to try: it's based on the "eclipse framework":
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

In theory, if you can get any of those to run, then you should be able
to get this program to run (unless there are problems I'm not aware
of). I still have never gotten the "auto-update" feature to work, so
there's definitely something I could have done wrong when compiling
this...

I think it's definitely the pound sign. I was able to reproduce the
error by trying to run the program in a folder called "#test".

That really sucks! Thanks for reporting this. I'm going to log a bug
and see if there's a fix for it...

Yep! You've been so damn right - it was the pound sign!
Thanks a lot for your support and this wonderful tool which i can
finally make use of now :)

All the best!

I think it might be something w/ Java7 not working.  Can you run `java -version` on your command line, and reply with the output?

I *think* you might have to install Java6 (the 64bit version) and make sure you are pointing to that version, but I'm not entirely sure.  I didn't see any # signs in your path, so that's not the issue for you.
