Dear Professor,

I get the following error when try to start new version of CiteSpace:

The issue persists regardless the operation system (I tried on Windows and Linux). I use Java 8. Previous versions work fine with the same settings.

Thanks.

5.6.R5? I tested both .exe and the batch for Windows, but didn't reproduce the problem. Try again and let me know.

Same problem here too. I do not understand this message, but its happening with this version only

[akastrin]

Yes, the issue is only with 5.6.R5. I need to try several times to successufly start CiteSpace.

I am uploading new 5.6.R5 now. Let me know if this one works better.

[akastrin]

As far as I can tested it works now like a charm.

Thanks.
