Java Virtual mc Launcher err
anon - 25 May 2004 13:36 GMT Java j2re1.4.204 installed. I have a mainstream java app, on starting I get a Java Virtual M/C Launcher , 'fatal exception occured. Program will exit' msg I can find no err logs. The app icon is shown in the task bar, and it shows in running processes, but of course I am unable to access the app interface. How should I track down the err?
anon - 25 May 2004 14:14 GMT I have started the consol, set logging, but that show nothing

Roedy Green - 26 May 2004 00:09 GMT >OK, but not sure what I'm supposed to do now? do you know what a DOS box is? I think they call is something like "command prompt" now.
In Windows 98 it is called command.com, in W2k cmd.exe
Look in start | programs | accessoris | Command Prompt.
It opens a box and you can type commands into it like
java -jar xxxx.jar
If you do that then the window HAS to stay open since it does not belong to Java.

Why is this the first time you have mentioned it is an _Applet_? *
What is the URL?
* I re-read your posts and most things you said implied an *application*, a quite different beastie.
> at the command prompt / dos box. > I have allready run yr wassup applet, and the output appears fine, I think Applets are easier to debug with an URL. A link to the code would be handy too.
Have a look over this for hints.. <http://www.physci.org/codes/sscce.jsp>

Is there anything stopping you from uploading the applet and html to GeoCities?

anon - 26 May 2004 11:58 GMT According to my newsreader I did post below yr msg, at least thats how it displays. OK so its a java application, as its called GUIRaid I assume it uses GUI The Link was from Silicon Image home page http://www.siimage.com/products/sataraid.asp link at the bottom 'Download.......etc' opens new window

"OK, but not sure what I'm supposed to do now?"
..appears after, lower down the page, than this one..
"launch it from a DOS window, then it can't close" ?

Sun's "The Java Tutorial" at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/index.html says:
"Applications are standalone programs, such as the HotJava browser. Applets are similar to applications, but they don't run standalone. Instead, applets adhere to a set of conventions that lets them run within a Java- compatible browser."
Also note that a Java program can be written so that it is both an applet and an application, depending upon whether it is started in a browser or via java.exe (or the equivalent on other platforms).

So: 1) I don't have enough information to try it myself. 2) You haven't provided information about your browser. 3) You mentioned an app icon in the task bar, but this appears to be an applet (because you are apparently accessing it with a browser, although Andrew and I can't get to it). I'm confused. 4) You mentioned that "it" appears in running processes, but not what "it" is.
I don't know that I am smart enough to help in any case, but I suspect that nobody will be able to help until more detailed information is provided. Helpful info (for a start): Your OS (including patch level) Your browser (including version # and patch level) Your JRE or JDK and version # Error message - where you are seeing it, and the precise and entire contents. What apps, processes, and icons are appearing. How can others reproduce the results?
Also think about what you might have changed on your system since the last time that this applet worked.
I don't intend any of this to sound rude or to be a runaround, I am just starved for information and want to help.
Good Luck!

anon - 29 May 2004 00:27 GMT 1) Win2k SP4 2) IE 6.0.2800.116 3)jre1.4.204 4)The java application 'SataRaid GUI' was downloaded from; Silicon Image home page http://www.siimage.com/products/sataraid.asp link at the bottom, 'Download.......etc' opens new window
5) err msg: Win msg window titled 'Java virtual machine launcher' msg: 'Fatel exception occurred. Program will excit'
6) The application doesnt run in a browser window 7) When running, which it does, other than the err.msg, it shows an icon in the taskbar - not a java consol icon - and also the application shows in 'running processess' I know the application is running correctly, other than its GUI, since It has launched a couple of times correctly and its internal recorded data shows all the instances of it starting, even when I got the err and was unable to access the GUI ( In this instance you should read GUI as window, I call it GUI since that what Silicon Image call it - am not being funny here) 8) When it was running correctly either a double click, or right click, on the icon would bring up a window (the GUI) showing Raid status with various menu options to alter the settings of the raid array (In my case mirror raid)
9) I'm not sure if the application could be run if you dont have installed a Silicon Image Raid controler. I have emailed SI but got no response 10) the only thing I've changed is to uninstall my graphics drivers and reinstall. I have also tried with my AV app disabled. Uninstall the app, java and reinstalled
Hope the above may help you to help me, Regards, David

You tried that.
My second instinct is to remove java, remove the app, reboot, install java, install the app. You tried that too.
My third instinct is to install the file on my machine. I can't risk it, it just won't happen. Sorry. :-(
My fourth instinct is for YOU to attempt to install and run this on some other machine, preferably one with a fresh installation of the operating system. Unlikely, I realize.
The zip file from the web site (THANKS, your latest URL got me there) is 12 MB and contains just two things: JRE 1.4.2 (consistent with the description you gave) and an 11.9 MB installer for the app - which I am not about to try.
It appears that this is a Java application and not an applet, so questions about browsers are probably not relevant.
At this point, I am stumped. Anyone else?
