Re: [Squirrel-sql-users] Getting
Squirrel to run on XP
Hi Jim,
I was able to reproduce the issue that you are seeing by accident, but
I was able to get around it as well. I fired up my old XP laptop, and
ran the install jar using jdk1.6.0_20. However, for JAVA_HOME, it had
been set previously to a jdk1.6.0 JVM (1.6.0 as in the first released
version of Java 1.6). So, I then set JAVA_HOME to the newer release :
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6
as in:
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jre6
Note, there are no quotes around this value - it needs to be this way
because we quote JAVA_HOME in squirrel-sql.bat and you will see an
error otherwise. Also note that this is the command-line equivalent
of setting it in the environment variables section in "My Computer" ->
"Properties" -> "Advanced".
I also set my CLASSPATH to an empty value as in
set CLASSPATH=
Then from the command line I was able to run squirrel-sql.bat and have
it run correctly. I'm not sure, but this seems to be an issue with
that early version of the JVM. Also, I noted under that first
released version of Java 1.6, that the process would not die, but
linger and eat up much of the CPU cycles on this machine (which
happens to be a Pentium 4, single core, single CPU machine). I say
this because you may want to reboot to remove the previously launched
copies of the JVM, or open up the task manager and kill them off one
at a time. Also, unless you backed up the original squirrel-sql.bat
file, you will probably want to blow away your changes to it by
re-installing into a new directory.
We have a bug ticket to set JAVA_HOME to be the JVM that was used by
the installer, so I think that will address this issue in the future.
And since the Java 6 installer appears to assign CLASSPATH to have a
value with an unquoted string (namely C:\Program
Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext\QTJava.zip), I will definitely be removing the
reference to %CLASSPATH% from the squirrel-sql.bat launch script. I'd
love nothing more than to put this issue to rest, so please let us
know if this resolves the launch problem you are having.
