Summary: PCGen 5141 will not start in Vista X64

Initial Comment:
I am running Vista 64bit currently, and cannot get PCgen to run.  I have installed and updated to the most recent version of the Java run-time required, but it will not load.

I have tried running in compatability mode and as administrator with no avail, any suggestions?

Here's what worked for Vista x64:


PCGen should be installed in the C:\Program Files (x86) folder

The .bat command line in the .bat file needs to be changed and should be:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.6.0_06\bin\java" -Dswing.aatext=true
-Xms128m
-Xmx256m -jar pcgen.jar

The path in the system\advanced properties\... should be:
;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.6.0_06\bin
Then Restart the computer, because that is ultimately what reset the
path...

Using the .bat file then works.

You do not need to enter the command in the command prompt manually.
