HI All,  I just installed tool and JRE Fresh on a windows machine. I pointed the tool to the JRE Install and now the GUI will not come up. The total log message is this:

How are you starting SQLWorkbench?  Are you using sqlworkbench64.exe?  One concern that jumps out at me right away is that you've installed into a directory with an embedded space: "SQL Tool".  Windows often has problems with embedded spaces in the PATH, CLASSPATH, etc.  Try renaming that directory to something without an embedded space, like SQLTool, and see if you get any further.  I have mine installed in a directory named SQLWorkbench.  I tried renaming mine to "SQL Workbench".  Still worked for me.  I'm also using OpenJDK 64-bit.  So, I'm not sure this will solve the problem you are seeing..

Hi Guy,

I am using the 64 bit exe with a 64 bit JDK. THe space also was a concern of mine and I removed it and the problem still exists. When I removed the space, I also checked to see that the path to the JRE directory updated correctly and it did. Still stuck.

The log message

SQL Workbench/J process has been interrupted.

indicates that the process was stopped by something outside of SQL Workbench.

Do you have an anti-virus tool running? Try to except the SQL Workbench directory from it.

Yes, I do, but it is completely under the control of my corporate IT so I will need to contact them to see if their settings are the cause. Thank you, this at least gives me someplace to look.

To validate the theory, you could use "sqlworkbench.cmd" to start SQL Workbench/J.

That does not run SQLWorkbench64.exe but javaw.exe directly which is (or should be) signed, so it shouldn't be blocked by the anti-virus.
If that works, then it's indeed the anti-virus blocking SQLWorkbench64.exe

Thomas

I actually did try that the other day, there were some java errors about not being able to locate a logger package. However, it did start in a command line mode.

Yes, that was a problem with the way I packaged build 129, but those warnings shouldn't stop the application from starting.

When using sqlworkbench.cmd you wouldn't see the console window with the warnings anyway.
