Just installed Java (64-bit), and downloaded RPGNG. Trying to open the file
rpgng.exe and getting the error: A JRE or JDK must be available in order to
run Rpgng....
I run Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64-bit).
Where should I look to get the troubleshooting started?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 21.0-b17, mixed mode)
Path value from Java Runtime Environment Settings is C:\Program
Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe
When I launch the editor as described above (having the path substituted as
per my machine, only having java.exe instead of javaw.exe), the system does
not return error. Instead, it flashes a blank dos window, then returns the
command prompt, RPGNG not launching.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Wait... the actual full text of the error (back to attempt to launch rpgng.exe
outside of dos prompt) is:
A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be
available in order to run Rpgng. No Java virtual machine was found after
searching the following locations:
C:\rpgng\jre\bin\javaw.exe
javaw.exe in your current PATH
So does this mean that the system is actually looking for JVM inside the rpgng
folder?

It seems that the System doesn't know any Java version you installed. What
does the dosbox says for the command: java -version
You can also editor your launching parameters as the following site describes:
http://wiki.rpgnextgen.com/doku.php?id=eclipse_launch_parameter
So you would launch the editor something like this:
rpgng -vm "C:/Program Files/Java/1.6.0_b12/jre/bin/java.exe"
java version "1.7.0"
Java(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.7.0-b147)

Problem seemingly solved - by uninstalling Java (64-bit) and installing Java
(32-bit).
So I take that RPG Next Gen will require a 32-bit Java even on a 64-bit
machine?
(Won't be a problem for me as long as everything works but some clarity here
would help :) )
I never heard of anything like that (64-bit windows requiring 32-bit Java
version). But I can't test or verify that because I have no windoze.
But I haven't tested the editor with Java 7 either. So this may be a problem.
Dunno.
