Re: [Squirrel-sql-users] Squirrel Error when attempting to open

[Robert M. <rob...@gm...>]

Version 2.5 requires java5 (1.5) or higher to run.  My guess is that you
have a version of Java installed that is 1.5 or higher or else the installer
(assuming that is what you used and not an zip archive) would have
complained.  It just doesn't happen to be the one in your command PATH. The
easiest way to remedy this is locate where you have that version of java
installed, and edit squirrel-sql.bat placing the line:

set JAVA_HOME=<Java5 install path>

just after the first line ("@echo off").  The <Java5 install path> should
have a "bin" directory in it.
