Re: [sleuthkit-users] Autopsy 3 error "cannot create Java Virtual Machine"

[Florian W. <web...@gm...>]

Hi Charles,

I had the same issue at the beginning of the year. Same system same error.
Luckily Adam was so kind to walk me through the steps to fix this.
Here is the solution or at least it was for me:

As a first step to debug this, can you verify java.exe from the embedded
jre but itself works.  Just execute C:\Program Files
(x86)\Autopsy\jre\bin\java.exe



If Java is working, you can try lowering the java heap settings. For that,
edit the autopsy.conf file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Autopsy\etc and change
-J-Xmx768m to something smaller, like -J-Xmx512m. You can do this using
Notepad++.

Lowering it to 512 worked for me.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Flo
