The first step you should try is to run squirrel-sql.bat from the command
line as the previous email suggests. This is generally the easiest way to
find out what's wrong.
In your case it sounds like SQuirreL isn't finding java. Your technique of
solving it was "move Java to SQuirrel". I think you'll find it's better to
try the technique of "point SQuirreL to Java". To do this you could modify
environment variables so that JAVA_HOME is well defined. But I find it
easier to directly modify squirrel-sql.bat so I know exactly what's going
on.
Try this idea to get a squirrel-sql.bat file that looks like this:
@echo off
IF "%JAVA_HOME%"=="" SET LOCAL_JAVA=java
IF NOT "%JAVA_HOME%"=="" SET LOCAL_JAVA=%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java
rem Note to myself: the following line was added by me (31 Jan 2006)
SET LOCAL_JAVA=C:\j2sdk1.4.2_04\bin\java
set SQUIRREL_SQL_HOME=C:\Program Files\SQuirreL SQL Client
[standard squirrel-sql.bat continues...]
You probably have a JRE rather than a JDK (or SDK or whatever it's called).
So your path to it will be something like this: C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\bin\java

Subject: Re: [Squirrel-sql-users] Trouble Running Squirrel
Are you using the Sun JRE? You can test what JRE is being picked up on the
classpath by typing java -version at a command prompt (Start/Run/cmd
<enter>). If so, I would go to the Control Panel and open the Java control
center and make sure the Sun Java is the default JRE. If that doesn't work
then I would try uninstalling and reinstalling it. That should set things
right again. I'd also go with the latest 5.0 version.
Another option would be to run the batch file that SQuirreL uses to launch
from the command prompt. It will be best to first CD to the SQuirreL folder.
This might allow you to see some more error messages. Finally, you could
make a copy of this batch file and modify it.

Eric

I've just installed Squirrel and can't seem to get it to run. When I
double-click the desktop icon I get a windows error box. At first it
couldn't find 'javaw', so I copied it into Squirrel's folder. Now it says it
can't find the JRE. My classpath is set so it should find it. Can anyone
provide any assistance . . . your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
