[Databionic-ESOM-User] Running under Windows Vista

[Par M. <par...@uc...>]

Hello,

 

I just installed the ESOM Tools on my computer running Windows Vista, and
had some initial problems starting the software.

 

I got an error message:

 

C:\Windows\system32\ntvdm.exe

Error while setting up environment for the application.

 

I found that adding -Dos.name=Windows.XP to the esomstart.bat file solved
the problem. 

Apparently, java does not recognize vista as a new windows version and tries
to run “command.com” instead of “cmd.exe”.

 

I.e., the last line of esomstart.bat should read:

call java -cp "%LOCALCLASSPATH%" -Dos.name=Windows.XP -Xmx512m %MAIN% %%*

 

I thought that this might be useful for other potential users.

 

/Pär
