has anyone encountered this error
"The procedure entry point _JVM_GetAllThreads@8 could not be located in
the dynamic link library jvm.dll". If so what is the solution to this.
I have tried pointing the right JRE in my system PATH. is there
anything else I need to do to overcome this?
Thanks

Man that's a weird one. I'm inclined to say that either jvm.dll is
corrupted, missing or from a different JRE version. If possible, I would
try reinstalling but first remove all other instances of Java first. It's
very easy to compile in one version but accidentally run in a different
preinstalled JRE.

Changing the PATH is the right thing to do. If that does not work there
are two things to consider.
1) Did you reboot your computer? If the jvm.dll is in memory a LoadLibrary
call will use the in memory DLL and ignore the change to the PATH.
Rebooting the computer will flush the DLL from memory and switch to the
new one in your PATH.
2) Could something have overwritten the DLL? That is, you are pointing to
what you think is the correct DLL but the reality is the correct DLL was
overwritten and you might need to re-install the JDK/JRE.
